Pentagon experts are frankly impressed by the arsenal of Soviet missiles. "The U.S. couldn't match it," admitted one officer. "We don't have the equipment." The Israelis are worried that they might lose their most important strategic advantage: airpower. They also fear that, under the cover of Soviet missilery, the Egyptian artillery can render the Bar-Lev fortifications on the east side of the canal untenable. Then Israel would be forced to pull back her army from the east bank into Sinai and risk a running war against Egyptian infiltrators in the wastes of the desert...
...activity came just as the Calcutta police were finally demonstrating an ability to handle the terrorists. In July, police rounded up 125 Naxalites and an arsenal of bombs. But, as one Calcutta police official admits, "police action is only one-tenth of the total effort required to curb the Naxalites." The other nine-tenths is social reform. In its 23 years of independence, the world's largest democracy has been running a dangerous race with famine, poverty and overpopulation.

Does it not also fulfill a higher need-to find a myth of the twentieth century? Yet despite the myth-making 2001, we currently languish in a Science Fiction recession. The recession has become so widespread as to paralyze our space program...
Although Blum's indictment is sweeping, his vision is specific. Workers at a Government arsenal experimenting in mind alterations surgically erase one man's memories in order for him to receive those of another. The input source is Andrew ("Bear") Home, a hulking psychopharmacologist and a survivor of a Chinese brain laundry in North Korea. Significantly, Bear is also the son of a Russian-born mother. The man scheduled to receive Home's memories is a black enlisted man, sentenced to life in prison for killing an officer...
