...fifth member of the hydrogen club, France is at least four years away from having a missile system capable of giving its big new bang the proper ride. Still, despite his recent troubles at home, Charles de Gaulle is determined to press ahead with his nuclear-weapon development program as the premier proof of his restoration of la gloire to France...
Legislators who grump about "socialistic, if not Communistic, doctrines at the law school" have finally found an excuse for striking out at the new spirit. Three faculty members became involved in an Office of Economic Opportunity legal-services program. When they took on a school-desegregation suit in one Mississippi county and another suit challenging the residency requirements of the state's welfare laws, the mossbacks reacted with a vengeance. The legislature leaned on the state board of higher education, which pressured the university's chancellor, who in turn forced a crackdown by Law Dean Morse. Though...
...professors in the OEO program have already resigned from the school and have filed suit in federal court to block the ruling. The third says he will quit after this year. Out-of-state faculty recruiting has been curtailed, and as the remaining outsiders move on, they are not likely to be replaced.

Phillips, announced a revised schedule that will postpone the manned flight of the glitch-ridden lunar module (LM), and may add a manned flight around the moon to the prelanding missions, yet still place astronauts on the moon before...
...Apollo program has also received a boost from scientists at the Jet Pro pulsion Laboratory, who recently discovered the cause of unexpected variations in the altitude and speed of earlier unmanned lunar orbiters. Such flight deviations, which could drop a module several miles off target, were caused by local increases in lunar gravity brought about by areas of dense material beneath the five circular maria, or "seas." The concentrations of mass, called "mascons," may have been caused by the impact of large meteors, which generated enough heat to melt material below the surface of the moon and form regions...
