The selection of Dr. Harrison H. Schmitt for Apollo 17 signals a shift toward scientifically trained astronauts alongside pilots. The space program has aimed at advancing knowledge, and Schmitt's inclusion tests the trend of science driven lunar exploration.
Time Paris bureau chief reports an SST crossing 1425 miles in 1 hour 39 minutes. He notes the flight felt unsettlingly normal and bets on astronaut Schmitt’s NASA value, given his geology training. The piece weighs pilot skill against broader scientific gains and public acceptance.
The National Review reports a survey of twelve U S colleges showing three fifths call themselves liberals and 17 percent radicals. About half reject party labels and seven of ten favor socializing basic industries. 54 percent favor U S surrender over war with the Soviet Union. The piece likens the influence of many universities to rotten apples in a barrel.
In a reader letter Karl F. Schultheiss criticizes Armco Steel Corp for claiming wage increases are exempt from a federal order, arguing selfish corporate motives harm non Armco workers. Another letter by Co Stamper praises bingo as benign entertainment for the elderly and questions anti gambling sentiment.
A columnist weighs U S stance on Taiwan and the two Chinas concept. He recalls the 1955 mutual defense treaty with Chiang Kai-shek and questions whether the United States might abandon Taiwan under future political pressures.
Nixon’s program echoes Hoover era doubts as he seeks two terms. The piece argues Roosevelt’s wartime-style improvisation created lasting change, warns price and wage freezes could invite black markets, while tariffs risk global decline. It notes Meany Hartke Kennedy and Mencken as contextual touchstones.
The piece recalls Toots Shor’s legendary saloon at 33 W 51st Street, closed after nearly four decades of celebrity patrons. It contrasts the vanished vitality with today’s ordinary dining spots and notes Shor’s enduring fame and the public’s longing for his host presence. It ends with Jim Murray’s quip that New York without Toots Shor is like Philadelphia.
