Despite the two experts' testimony, there is no evidence that any gunman on the knoll hit Kennedy and no evidence of who such a gunman might be. The baffled committee members, under a deadline to complete their probe by the end of the year, decided to hold public hearings on the new disclosures this week and will probably turn over their findings to the Justice Department...
Following the U.S.'s successful exploration of the planet Venus with multiple Pioneer spacecraft, the Soviet Union last week landed an unmanned probe of its own on the Venusian surface. Unlike the American ships, which were primarily designed to study the Venusian atmosphere, Venera 12's lander also transmitted data from the surface for an impressive 110 min. before succumbing to the 480° C (900° F) temperature. As usual, the Soviets mixed in a little politics, placing an image of Lenin on the planet. Another Soviet craft, Venera 11, was set to reach this hot world...

Following the release of its first probe, the Pioneer Venus 2 spacecraft this week was scheduled to toss off three additional instrument-crammed packages. The four probes, as well as the mother ship, will arrive at Venus on Dec. 9. All five are aimed to descend over different areas of the planet, so that they will gather the widest possible range of data, including temperatures, composition, density and distribution of the atmosphere. They will be passing through hostile territory. At higher altitudes the probes will be whipped by winds with velocities that may be as high...

Two of the clinics performed admirably, the investigators say, but four others, which together do one out of every three abortions in the Chicago area, are assembly-line outfits concerned only with making money...
