Conley has gained the endorsement of the Harvard Joint Committee for Non-Partisan School Appointments, an organization in which the HYDC, The HYRC, and potentially the Eisenhower Club participate.

The CCA, itself, is planning to use the Harvard group to distribute information on election eve and to campaign at the polls on election...
...armed with the local atomic capability of the Sixth Fleet and the worldwide thermonuclear capability of Strategic Air Command, and assured by week's end that a missile speedup was inevitable (see below), moved to meet Khrushchev's crude power play with a readiness to use power, if necessary.

These data, digested in 21 seconds by a big computer at M.I.T., gave a pretty good orbit for the satellite. It is elliptical, carrying Sputnik to an apogee (high point) 583 miles above the earth and bringing it down to its perigee (low point) 143 miles up. Since both these distances are added to the radius...
