Kennedy Moon Race Debate Grows As Space Plans Rise
The nation weighs President Kennedy's push to put a man on the moon and bring him back. Analysts discuss costs from 25 to 30 billion over five years, with long term totals reaching 40 billion. Managers like James Webb defend NASA ambitions, while scientists and generals offer scepticism about feasibility and timing. The debate spans government limits, international competition, and the best path forward for U.S. space leadership.

Safe-driver merit plan to raise New Jersey premiums
New Jersey adopts a safe-driver merit rating insurance plan effective Thursday. Drivers with three years no serious convictions will get about 15 percent premium reductions from over 200 licensed insurers. high-risk drivers face up to 150 percent surcharges for recent at fault accidents or serious violations. The system aims to reward safe driving and deter violations, potentially filtering out incompetent drivers. The Belmont Stakes runs this Saturday with Carry Back aiming for the Triple Crown, after Derby and Preakness wins, with owner Jack Price briefly reconsidering the Jersey Derby. Belmont claims spaciousness and striking appearance among tracks, praised by observers.

Pro-Reds Strengthen Grip in Ethiopia Says Canadian Reporter

He notes land reform failures, aging feudal structures, limited army pay, and external backing from the Soviet Union Yugoslav advisers and alleged ministerial corruption, arguing the emperor loses control as unrest rises.
