...cold-warring Russia and the U.S., after inadvertently eradicating all life from the British Isles, join in recreating Merry England with fake issues of the London Times and fond memories of Robin Hood. In another, a cuckolded space scientist packages his wife as condensed food for a Mars-bound astronaut, who has already enjoyed her in other ways...
...under in the Nixon landslide. Young liberals like Dick Celeste of Cleveland formerly of the Peace Corps are hoping to build "a tangible issue orientation" within the party. From that base they might work out to local and then state-wide candidate contests. Gilligan, U.S. Rep. Charles Vanik, former astronaut John Glenn, and black Humphreyite Cleveland Mayor Carl Stokes all may play prominent roles in a liberal-based party move to retake the state from a decade of GOP control...
...Every astronaut has to do it to see what it is like to be weightless way up there in space. And what's good for the fly-boys has to be valuable for the rocketeers who send them out of this world.

Marshall Space Flight Center, floating around the cabin of a C-135 jet transport while the pilot flew a precise "over-the-hump" curve to produce 30 seconds or so of weightlessness. Von Braun made twelve of the trips and marveled that...

And from gas masks to astronaut-type suits, air-filtering systems and early-warning devices, no known precautions promise to save more than a few people from a well-executed attack.

Few diplomats give Britain's current ban-the-germ campaign at the Geneva disarmament talks any realistic chance...
...with what came down. Now success has forced them to equalize their interest. The North American Air Defense Command, which is responsible for tracking earth-circling traffic, counts more than 1,300 objects in orbit. These have included not only satellites but last-stage boosters, drifting bolts, and an astronaut's glove and camera. By the immutable laws of gravity, all must one day come plunging down toward earth...
