...Congress and among the responsible antiwar groups is wearing poster-thin. During the past two weeks, delegations of students, mothers and business executives have renewed their complaints about the war in Washington. Last week, 1,300 Quakers picketed the White House. Two ranking Senate Republicans, Chief Whip Hugh Scott and George Aiken, the party's senior Foreign Relations Committee member, have declared themselves in favor of an immediate pull-out of U.S. forces. As Aiken put it, the U.S. must "turn that country and that war back to its rightful owners...
...middle of the hearings, twelve members of a local guerrilla theater troupe staged a searing attack on welfare. Ignoring cries of "You can't do this!" from Javits, they portrayed a poor family set upon by welfare officials and harassed by a social worker who carried a whip and shouted, "Where are those dirty little Mexicans?" In the bitter finale, performed directly in front of Javits, the social worker stuck out her sweater-stuffed rear end and members of the aid-seeking family lined up and kissed...
...Boss 302." The auto is built with a wing across the rear deck to provide a downward thrust that adds traction to the wheels; it also has fixed louvres as bizarre sunshades on the rear window.

Further, Dirksen continued to block the appointment of Dr. John Knowles, director of Massachusetts General Hospital, as an Assistant Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. Although HEW Secretary Robert Finch has argued for Knowles, Dirksen...
...BEYOND THE MOON. In 1971, NASA plans to place two spacecraft in orbit around Mars. In 1973, two "Viking" missions are scheduled to make soft landings on the planet's surface. Also proposed is a Venus-Mercury "minitour" using the Venusian gravitational force to whip a satellite on toward Mercury. Perhaps most visionary of all is NASA's dream of "Grand Tour" flights to the "outer" planets-Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The four outer planets will be aligned in such a way that a single craft launched between 1976 and 1978 could fly by all of them...
