WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Better be prepared to add a
new word or two to your daily
use vocabulary. You'll be hear
ing lot in the next few years
about "astronauts" and "astro-
nautics." The words. obviously.
are coined from the Greek las
tron" (star) and "nautes"
(sailor) and have to do with
voyaging among the stars.
First used in science fiction
tales. they are now part of the
official vocabulary of the Air
Force Office of Scientific Re-
search. An astronaut. in their
words. is "one who would en-
gage in, or is concerned with,
interplanetary flight" ann as
tonauticS is "the art and science
of flying through space. or send
ing winged guided vehicles or
missiles through space"

point. What is the dividing

ISevareid's broadcasts is that
they have always expressed a
point of view-his. And
brilliantly. Sevareid's sub
lject was the State Department
ban on newsmen going into Red
China. If you listened to
him at all. you have no doubts
as to what he might have said.
How he wanted to say it, of
course, is another matter.
One wonders. incidentally, If the
cancellation of the program, the
first that I can recall, doesn't
indicate an effort on the part
of CBS's news chief, John Day,
to assert the paramountcy of his
department over all expression
relating to the news. Are
