...Your picture of the Viet Nam War is the clearest 1 have yet read. The sooner we get out of Viet Nam the better. Viet Nam is for the Vietnamese, north and south. It is not for the French, the Japanese, the Chinese or the Russians. It is certainly of no value to the U.S., 6,000 miles away.

...device that splits a beam of light, sends each half along a path of different length, and then rejoins them in an interference pattern of light and dark fringes. Computer analysis and averaging of these patterns by scientists at Block Associates in Cambridge, Mass., produced two of the clearest spectrograms ever obtained of Venus at high altitude. Although the spectrograms conclusively proved that there were no ice crystals in the Venusian atmosphere, they did reveal what appeared to be a significant trace of water vapor.
