...White House pensioner, the deeper question of what is really on his mind must go unanswered. The feeling is that he is wrestling with his soul, trying to figure out just how things went sour in his five-year presidency. Where did he lose touch? What went wrong in Viet Nam? Ronnie Dugger, owner of the liberal Texas Observer and an expert Lyndonologist, speculates: "He has given up on current opinion and retreated into history. With his memoirs, he is going to try to make as strong a case as possible for his decisions, particularly about...
...astronauts turned out to be igneous or heat-formed rock, possibly of volcanic origin. Long a champion of a "cold" moon-the theory that it has never had a molten core like the earth's-the University of California chemist sadly admitted that he could have been wrong. The moon, he conceded in the face of the rocks, might be hot, or geologically active, after all. "Poor old fellow," said one of NASA's younger geologists several weeks ago, "his ideas are impossibly wrong...

...urged them to proceed with loans as if the bill were law. Even if the President's prediction is correct, countless students will suffer financial and educational losses from the delay, especially incoming freshmen who are applying for loans for the first time. If the President is wrong and the legislation is not passed, HEW officials conservatively estimate that at least 225,000 students will be denied up to $200 million in loans...
