...about "a woman's place" as a male conspiracy. The next time you happen to pass a garbage can, rummage through for a copy of Woman's Day or Family Circle. It simply is not men who come up with articles about what a kick it is to toilet train your child, or the ecstasy of learning to cook eggplant eighty-nine ways. If anything, women support the present role choice, and perpetuate the system by passing the same alternatives on to their children. For a playwright to berate society for its failures is generally futile-but less futile than...
...make an interesting tale when considered in the context of NASA's shaky relations with the scientific community. Scientists have complained for years that the manned space program was dominated by engineers. To mollify its scientific critics, the agency set up the scientist-astronaut corps two years ago to train young scientists for field work on the moon and for the earth-orbit missions of the Apollo Applications Program. Not one scientist-astronaut has been assigned to the prime or back-up crews of the next 3 Apollo missions, while several test pilot astronauts, among them aging Alan Shepard, have...

Our national defense stands in need of the same kind of knowledge...
...favorite joke around town went: "Are you in oil?" "No, I'm incognito." One company wrapped its bid in aluminum foil in case a competitor had an exotic camera capable of taking pictures through a manila envelope. Another consortium, headed up by Continental Oil, hired a private train at $12,500 a day to ply back and forth between Calgary and Edmonton for four days while executives prepared their bids in total secrecy; at the last minute, they flew to Anchorage in a corporate JetStar...
