Other Moons To Visit When Once Our Astronauts Land
Science editor David Dietz argues for exploring moons around other planets after lunar missions. Beyond the Moon, more than two dozen moons exist, from Ganymede the largest at 3,200 miles to Deimos at five miles, with Phobos also tiny. Manned expeditions could best expand knowledge, and several moons are visible with a basic telescope. Galileo first found Jupiter’s four largest moons in 1610, and many more remain to be studied.

Fortas and Wolfson divided versions of a Senate burning issue
Life magazine paints a differing account of Justice Abe Fortas and financier Louis E. Wolfson. A $20,000 foundation check paid for Fortas's research work was deposited, then returned eleven months later, while Wolfson and associate Elkin Gerbert pressed Fortas’s name to dodge prison. Fortas claims the money was a foundation payment for research and returned it. Life questions whether interest on the sum implied a gift. The piece, reprinted from the Omaha World Herald, links the affair to Fortas's Senate rejection for chief justice and questions his continued tenure as associate justice.

It cites DAS, paper work, and existing offices as evidence that current methods already fail to save money. It urges the Legislature to fund a competent research staff instead.
