...Draped Arm. By last week, Cecil Stoughton's photographs were the center of a small but heated controversy. Just who was present during L.B.J.'s inaugural oath? Asked about it on Meet the Press, Author William Manchester reiterated what he had reported in a Look installment of The Death of a President: every male Kennedy aide, except Dr. George Burkley, had insultingly ducked the swearing-in.

The family was watching Scottish Black Watch bagpipers from a balcony, and Stoughton shot the scene from behind, catching the spread-out panoply of the marchers as well as Caroline's small arm draped around her father's shoulders...
...Space. In Bradley's system, a ground-based astronaut would strap himself into a control harness or frame that would be a virtual duplicate of a telefactor aboard an orbiting spacecraft (see diagram). Should the astronaut want to adjust a cabin control, for example, he would reach his arm toward a knob on a duplicate of the spacecraft's instrument panel. His every motion would be translated into electronic signals and transmitted to the telefactor in orbit. Servomechanisms on the telefactor would move its arm toward the actual spacecraft control panel. Feedback devices on the telefactor...

Diagnostic tests which were made by threading plastic tubes through arm veins and into Betty's heart had revealed most of nature's errors. Even so, Surgeon Frank Gerbode was in for a surprise.

"Keep the bricks wet," he calls out to his wife. "I'll be back this afternoon." She keeps the bricks wet, but he does not come back that afternoon. She does not see him again until the bricks and both their lives and all of Europe have been ground to rubble under the German jackboot...
