...doubted until his death in 1945. Yet in the 1960s the U.S. spent about $34.5 billion on space programs, culminating in the 1969 Apollo moon landing. In the 1970s the country will spend almost the same amount ($34.1 billion), overwhelming proof that Goddard's dream still has considerable thrust. Two Viking probes are en route to Mars, a Venus probe is scheduled for 1978, and a reusable space shuttle will go aloft the following year...

Mindful of the public "need for judicial redress of libelous utterances," Rehnquist held that Mrs. Firestone "did not assume any role of especial prominence in the affairs of society, other than perhaps Palm Beach society, and she did not thrust herself to the forefront of any particular public controversy in order to influence the resolution of the issues involved...

We presume that Brill's piece in Harper's on Jimmy Carter did the same workmanlike job that he did on Jackson...
...They point out that economic growth cannot become self-sustaining because the profits of Puerto Rican industry are remitted to the United States, and association with the United States forces Puerto Rico to buy American products which are more expensive than those available from other markets. But the thrust of their argument is that only by freeing themselves from United States domination can Puerto Ricans create a socialist plan for development which would correct the unequal distribution of wealth that characterizes the island today. Both the PIP and the PSP now emphasize recruitment among the working class, and their representatives...
