...learn more about the moon than he did during the 360 years that followed Galileo's pioneering look at the lunar surface through a telescope in 1609: Unmanned spacecraft have crashed into the moon, orbited it, measured it, and photographed it from every conceivable angle, giving man his first view of the lunar far side. Ingenious soft-landing spacecraft have dug into its soil and even chemically analyzed it by remote control...
...whether the universe will continue to expand eternally or eventually stop and then begin contracting. "It could settle once and for all the question of the evolution of our universe," Zwicky says, "and give us some understanding of its large-scale structure." In addition, he notes that with a view of the far infrared range, "we shall not only be able to see down to the central nucleus of the Milky Way system, but we may see right through the Milky Way and observe galaxies about which we are not even aware today...
...State William Rogers urged the Soviets to follow through on their stated willingness to open arms talks. The White House is interested in probing possibilities for an eventual summit conference, but only after some areas of agreement are found.

It would treat the criminals who gave the orders for genocide and massacres far more severely than those who carried them out or were involved in lesser crimes. Fearing that he would be outflanked...
...Viet Nam. Egotism and arrogance came to be associated with absorption in "la culture française"; not a few in the intelligentsia were far more concerned with the study of Voltaire and Montesquieu than with the realities in their country. What is more, this elitism has produced a view of the world that is cynically self-centered and, currently, virulently anti-American. The younger group, educated in Europe and the U.S., have managed to free themselves from lycée culture. But to this day, French influence runs deep among the older generation of Vietnamese intellectuals-Camus and Sartre...
