...himself in the giant five-ton capsule perched on the rocket's nose. An attendant handed him a notebook labeled ''Log Book of the Spaceship Vostok II.'' With exaggerated care, Titov examined the pencil dangling from the log, and remembered: "Yuri Gagarin did not attach his pencil firmly and lost it." Then the hatch clanged shut, arid soon Vostok II lifted through the clear air to carry Titov on the longest journey ever made by man -nearly 435,000 miles in 17 hurtling orbits around the earth...
...stalks city and countryside carrying tiny transistors. He can't stand silence. With his gadget turned up full-blast, the bleatnik goes about his pursuits with ear and mind cocked to sportscasts, disk-jockeywockey and what passes for pop music.

The hierarchy will push to attach such an amendment to the Kennedy bill...
...cocktail parties. Talking with the movement's rank-and-file gave one a distinct feeling that they were by no means bigots, embittered cynics, or oldsters pompous before their time. (The YAF leadership and its adult advisors have taken great pains to eliminate that resist fringe which tries to attach itself to conservative groups, much as Communists bedevil liberal organizations.) While these students believed deeply in their philosophy of natural law, in the free market, limited government etc.,--and had often suffered for their convictions in terms of lower marks from professors with differing views--few seemed to bear...
