...which the Institute looked at the invitation was different. Institute officials still insisted that they were not running a "speaker's bureau." Yet the McNamara demonstration, and the discussion that followed it, had lent some weight to SDS's argument about why officials like McNamara should be asked to speak publicly...
...beginning, he spent most of his time simply listening to SDS's presentation, its argument that there must be a speaker or some kind of a panel to follow up Goldberg's answers. He did not commit himself. But, on Wednesday morning, SDS leaders told him they needed something to bring to their membership that night.

Says Caltech's Astrophysicist Jesse Greenstein: "The manned-space program is mainly engineering, concerned with keeping people alive in curious circumstances. This does not advance science very much." Men who feel the same way have insisted for years that manned-space probes cost literally 100 times as much as unmanned, and are not worth it. Says Britain's eminent Astronomer Fred Hoyle: "What has been accomplished...
