...public administration institute will make a $25,000 study of Cambridge's manifold voluntary and public planning agencies during the coming year. The study will attempt to establish a clearcut division of labor and chain of command among the agencies...
...astronauts will also at tempt to rendezvous with the burnt-out final stage of their launch rocket, using only a sextant and a telescope for direction finding; the Apollo command module is not equipped with rendezvous radar. During their week-and-a-half space journey, they will start Apollo's large, 20,500-lb.-thrust engine eight times to test its reliability.

But Miss Kellogg displays an easy, lightly satirical command of the hospital-medical milieu, as befits a professional therapist (one of her patients was the late Carson McCullers). And, perhaps most promising of all, she writes with a crispness and economy that is all too rare in any novel-first, last or in between...
