Five weeks before the New Hampshire primary, Richard Nixon is the odds-on favorite to sink George Romney. Michigan's Governor hopes to bob up for the April 2 primary in Wisconsin, where he was stumping last week, and the May 14 Nebraska test, but Nixon is expected to submerge him in both those places as well...
...Navy match, which starts this afternoon at 3 p.m. in Hemenway Gym, is a key test for the Harvard racquetmen because Navy is the ranking Intercollegiate Team champion. Harvard held the title from 1962 to 1966, but was edged out last year by a single point after a rough and tumble loss at Annapolis...

Thus, in a single test, NASA was able to prove that both LM engines work well, that the descent engine can be throttled in space-the first big operational engine to do so-and that the Apollo mission could be safely aborted, if necessary, during the final descent to the lunar surface. The near-perfect results may enable NASA to cancel plans for a second unmanned LM flight and to move directly into a manned orbital flight-to check out LM's life-support systems-late in 1968. Looking further ahead, LM's success has also raised hopes...
...engineering test that was a preliminary to actual laser experiments during the Apollo moon mission, a group headed by University of Maryland Physicists Carroll Alley and Douglas Currie set up the lasers in four East Coast locations in addition to the two in the West. Each was projected backwards through a telescope-into the viewing end-toward Surveyor's lunar site. The telescopes were used not only to aim the beams precisely but also to further confine the beam of the coherent laser light, which diverges very little even without telescopic aid. Alley estimates that both beams had diverged...
