...wreath at the Ataturk Mausoleum. There he shed his topcoat in the chill evening air, laid a wreath of white and red carnations, stood with head bowed. So many flashbulbs flashed in his face that he seemed a bit blinded. "Do you mind if I take your arm?" he said to a Turkish official as they walked away...
Russia's drive into missile technology, the committee warned, seems likely to give the enemy the world's first comprehensive missile arm. Result: "the greatest danger to its security that the United States has ever faced," in the form of a missile gap in the early 1960s. "There is as yet no active defense against an intercontinental ballistic missile in flight," warned the report, or any yet in sight. The report also found present liquid-fueled U.S. ICBMs to be wanting. Recommendation: "a most strenuous effort" behind solid-fuel missiles, e.g., the Air Force's Minuteman...
Though without much voice-he classifies himself as a "bastard bari-tenor"-Actor Slezak made the audience laugh almost every time he opened his mouth, particularly at his first-act entrance, when he was bundled in fluttery finery and carried a small live pig (rubber diapered) under his arm.

...round ability in both passing and running, they rank him behind Meredith because he falls short of outstanding mastery in either-and mastery in a specialty is a prerequisite for the pro.

...Dutch astronomers found that for 15,000 light-years toward the center, clouds of hydrogen fill the spaces between the stars, revolve around the center with reasonably circular motion. Then, 10,000 light-years out from center, comes a rather dense spiral arm of hydrogen that is moving away from the center at 100,000 m.p.h. Other hydrogen clouds in the vicinity may be moving outward as fast as 400,000 m.p.h...
