Article in Science discussed "factors pressing France toward greater emphasis on international collaboration" in space exploration, then said: "Hence there was warm, if somewhat skeptical, interest in France when, in October, a Soviet scientific delegation brought up the idea of launching French payloads on Soviet rockets. It appeared, according to the one authoritative account of this proposal (Le Monde, 11 November) , that the Soviet scientists did not envisage French requests for precise knowledge about acceleration and vibration from Soviet rockets so that the payload design could proceed, nor did they expect that French scientists would wish to be present in Soviet launch-bases and tracking stations, it was expected that the negotiations would be long and delicate. " (McElheny, Science, 12/24/65, 1700-01)
Commenting on election of political scientist Don K. Price to presidency of American Association of the Advancement of Science, Science editor Philip H. Abelson quoted Price himself: " 'The union of the political and scientific estates is not like a partnership, but a marriage; it will not be improved if the two become like each other, but only if they respect each other's quite different needs and purposes, No great harm is done if in the meantime they quarrel a bit,' " (Science, 12/24/65, 1669)
Commenting on budgetary considerations as they might affect the Titan William Hines said in the Washington Evening Star: "If the economy ax falls on the Titan III-C program in the wake of an unsuccessful launching Tuesday, it will be sad indeed. The program is one of the few major space efforts in recent memory to have gone along so far on schedule, close to budget limits, and with a reasonably high degree of success." (Hines, Wash. Eve, Star, 12/24/65, A3)
