...Fulbright chapters in 22 states, including two in L.B.J.'s home state of Texas (Austin and San Antonio). We boast a membership of nearly 4,000 in 48 states plus the District of Columbia. This "draft movement" has only just begun. We expect to have an even larger impact in the future...
Although Surveyor's mission was generally proceeding according to plan, analysis of its telemetry indicated that it had bounced three times (the first time 35 ft.) after its initial impact on the moon-lifted by its vernier rockets, which had failed to shut down. The unexpectedly rough landing occurred, scientists believed, when the approach radar that controls the rockets became confused by the difference in elevation between the crater bottom and its rim. But the rugged spacecraft quickly proved that it had not been unduly shaken up. Shortly after it landed, it looked down and coolly photographed a nearby...

A similar mishap that same year may have caused the unsterilized Russian probe called Zond 2 to impact on the surface of Mars...
...everyone else continues to write obsolete eye-oriented books, McLuhan has put out the first electronic book.
