...with the black suitcase containing the codes for nuclear war, the Cabinet officers and the generals are gone from Johnson City, Texas, but the man and the land that shaped him remain. The birthplace of Lyndon B. Johnson is now a historical monument, cared for by the Department of the Interior, and open to tourists. TIME's Houston Bureau Chief Leo Janos joined the weekend visitors and sent this report...
Since April, Soviet long-range Tu-95 "Bear" bombers, with a 4½-ton payload, have made six flights to Havana. The April flights are the first landings that Soviet heavy bombers have ever made outside the U.S.S.R. Washington doubts that the Russians are trying to sneak nuclear missiles into Cuba, as they did in 1962. More likely, the Tu-95 is carrying out reconnaissance missions and delivering military supplies.

When the world's oil wells are fully depleted, there will still be immense reserves locked away in tar sands and shale. By then, nuclear energy will help to supply the "highenergy society."

Its impact should be judged primarily in relation to the needs of Alaska...

Chiding the ecology-minded for naivete, he continued: "Let's remember that if we are to expect governments to spend money to prevent pollution, we must be practical and realistic. Do you think you can get governments interested in constructive action by just holding up a dead seabird?'' The pessimism of the ecologists was tempered by a rosy view of the oceans' potential. Scientist John P. Craven, lately of M.I.T., predicted that there...
