Construction at United Nations Hq. in New York of "Hall of Fame for all spacemen-those who already have voyaged, or someday will voyage, in outer space" was proposed by Parade magazine. Hall would "underscore our need for international cooperation in space." Magazine said U.N. Secretary General Kurt M. Waldheim had endorsed proposal because "it is a practice of most of the astronauts to visit the U.N. when they return from their moon flights." (Parade, 10/22/72, 7)
U.S., U.S.S.R., and several other countries were engaged in "multimillion-dollar efforts" to test feasibility of new approach to controlled fusion that would produce unlimited, pollution-free energy, New York Times reported. New method was to heat and implode, to superdense state, a hollow pellet of fusion fuel by smashing it from all sides with simultaneous pulses of laser beam. Concept had thus far been checked only in computer simulations. (Sullivan, NYT, 10/22/72, 1)
