...service by bringing into the open a festering sore in the structure of the church. Celibacy as a sine qua non for the priesthood of the Latin Rite is a product neither of the demands of faith nor of the conclusions of sound theology. The stress on celibacy in Western Catholicism at times borders on the irrational. The Oriental Church has realized the error of identifying a vocation to the priesthood with a vocation to the celibate life...
...Some Western Kremlinologists felt that the revised goals were within reach; others, that they were still a shade too high. Either way, they underscored the tremendous economic problems that Moscow faces. With 45% of the American G.N.P. and a population 20% larger than that of the U.S., Russia must shoulder a heavy arms burden, support costly space research, and at the same time meeting the growing and impatient expectations of 232 million people...
When Soviet Rebel Novelist Valery Tarsis, 59, was permitted to fly to England last month for a lecture engagement, Western observers were frankly surprised.

But they made an effort...

Until then, no one could be sure that the angle of inclination, to say nothing of the perigee and apogee, represented more than a launch mistake or a guidance error. In fact, no one was even sure why Veterok and Ugolyok had been chosen for the voyage. Though dogs are perfectly satisfactory subjects, U.S. scientists plan this fall to orbit a biosatellite loaded with wasps and fruit flies, which...
