Nonetheless, its basic strategy is suggested by a Lou Harris poll showing that only 49% of the voters currently approve Lyndon Johnson's handling of the war, v. 66% in December. This does not by any means suggest that the argument will resemble the familiar dove-hawk controversy. Many Republican campaigners will undoubtedly urge intensified bombing of North Viet Nam, particularly "source" targets in the Hanoi-Haiphong industrial complex, which have been spared on the President's orders. The Administration may also be criticized for not calling up the reserves-or, if they have been mobilized by November...
...sent even more vital information, if its radio did not fail too soon. As it plummeted toward impact, Venus Ill's telemetry abruptly ceased. In any case, the flight represented a remarkable display of space navigation. On the heels of it, the U.S. reaffirmed plans to send Mariner V to Venus...
School Is a Ritual. In the past, Peggy's main weakness had been her tracing of the compulsory, or "school," figures, a repetitive series of "paragraphs," "rockers" and "counters" that comprises 60% of a figure skater's score (v. 40% for free skating).

...Service v. Services. If the church is essentially God's people, why does a parish need a church building at all? The parishioners of Cherry Knolls United Church near Denver do not think they do, and have done surprisingly well without one.

To carry out the mission, parishioners are organized...
Homestake not only reopened but also prospered by introducing cost-cutting technical innovations. Among them: automated hoisting equipment; TV monitoring and short-wave communications; tungsten carbide bits, used to drill holes for explosives, that last for 450 ft. of drilling v. 16 in. for the old steel bits, and have doubled each miner's productivity. It takes an average three tons of ore to produce a single ounce of gold, but Homestake literally wrings out every ounce. The company salvages $300,000 worth of gold a year by such thrifty measures as washing workers' clothes and hands, vacuuming...
