This week in Chile, New York's Republican Senator Jacob K. Javits went even further. Javits warned against the "erosion of investor confidence" in Lat in America, predicted a "great outward tide" of private investment, both in U.S. and local money, unless a major effort is made to reverse the trend. It is up to Latin American governments, said Javits, to do more to improve the climate for business. The private sector actually accounts for 70% of all economic activity in Latin America. And, contrary to popular belief, said Javits, "90% of that private sector is owned by Latin...
...course toward the moon. From a secret launching pad, half the world away, Soviet scientists fired a missile that spewed out two separate satellites. The variety of the shots was as impressive as the number, and the infinite distances of the universe seemed to shrink perceptibly as men reached outward with more and more authority...
...four center engines are immovable and canted outward to reduce the yawing effect if one of them should cut out. The four outer engines are on gimbals so they can be switched from side to side to give directional control. They get their kerosene and liquid oxygen fuel through flexible tubing, from nine tanks interconnected so that if one engine fails, the others will use its share of fuel and burn longer. Backing up the engines is an incredible array of pumps, valves, gas generators, high-pressure tanks and cables. Saturn SA-5 is as complicated as a crewless ocean...

Last week, just one year after Charles de Gaulle abruptly scotched Britain's bid to join the Common Market, France's partners were once more engaged in an earnest attempt to bring Britain into an outward-looking, integrated Europe.

Put in a vacuum chamber for testing with no one inside it, the suit was "flown" up to simulated altitudes as high as 130,000 ft. It stiffened and swelled, its arms spread outward like a gorilla's, but it did not burst. Next stage was to take the suit up to altitude with a living man inside it, and that man was taking a considerable chance. If a sudden leak had developed at 130,000 ft., the pressure inside would have fallen...
