The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library hosted an exhibit by NASA—the National Aeronautics & Space Administration. The highlight of the exhibit was a moon rock collected by Apollo 17—the final Apollo mission to the moon. In addition to the moon rock, NASA also exhibited renderings of the next generation spacecraft.

William Bertram MacFarland describes himself as “a patriot, a soldier, a spy, and an assassin.” The description does not do him full justice. He is an amalgam of James Bond, Jason Bourne and Jack Ryan. We discuss his years of service as a Presidential Assistant during the John F. Kennedy Administration from his book Back Channel.
