High Tuition. The Nebraska case involves the town of Bellevue (pop. some 20,000), which has a student enrollment of 10,800, the majority of whom come from nearby Offutt Air Force Base, home of the Strategic Air Command. On the basis of last year's subsidy, Bellevue expected to get about $2,900,000 this year, or 45% of its school budget. The dispute between the Nixon Administration and Congress over the size of the entire education appropriation for the current fiscal year resulted in a compromise that left impacted-aid at roughly the same level as last...
...past midnight on April 1, the Communists launched what U.S. officials termed the spring offensive. At least 115 allied targets were pounded by mortar and artillery fire, and at least five significant ground attacks were reported. The onslaught was convincing proof that the enemy still has the strength and command coordination to launch countrywide attacks with great precision.

...century Italian monk-cartographer). Located 110 miles from Apollo's Ocean of Storms landing site, the target area is covered with jagged hills and ridges, some of them hundreds of feet high. There are relatively few level sites in the vicinity, and the landing will require all of Command Pilot Lovell's skill. But the Apollo 13 astronauts-whose motto is Ex Luna, Scientia (From the Moon, Knowledge)-are taking the risk because of the area's immense geological importance. Unlike the flatter, smoother lunar maria, the highlands have apparently been little changed since the moon...
...moon landings, but the mission planners have adopted a shrewd fuel-conserving stratagem that should reduce some of the danger. On previous missions, the lunar lander separated from the mother ship while the two were circling the moon at an altitude of 69 miles. But Apollo 13's command vehicle, Odyssey, will be sent into a more elliptical lunar orbit that will drop it to a height of only nine miles before Aquarius is released. As a result, the lunar lander will use less fuel in its final descent and have enough left to hover a crucial 15 seconds...
