...Christopher really helped your "devoted rocketmen" get the Vanguard into orbit [March 21], why don't we invite Bishop Sheen (or Billy Graham) down to Cape Canaveral to give our new satellites an extra boost? Solid fuels? Bah! All we will need is prayer and a skyhook...
...Morocco. But when his father Moulay Youssef died in 1927, the French passed over the two elder brothers and settled on shy, retiring 18-year-old Mohammed, had him duly "selected" by the council of Ulemas. Deeply religious, pensive Mohammed said little, always dressed in a flowing djella-bah, spent most of his time in pious ritual. He had been married off at 16 to a girl a year younger.

...AFUS! Pride and tradition are the services' lifeblood-and this would be the death blow to each. The same uniform-bah! The same promotion list-phooey!

Instead of traveling farthest to his class's 1956 reunion, Seaweed Osawa, Mohammed-like, had persuaded part of the reunion to come to him. He had sent invitations to more than...
With a rip-roaring locomotive that dumfounded onlookers and customs men, the greying junketeers began their reunion with a rousing "Tiger, tiger, tiger, sis-boom-bah!" Then, starting out in Tokyo (where they lunched with onetime Japanese Ambassador to the U.S. Eikichi Araki, a Princeton graduate school student in 1923), the visitors set out to see Japan. Amidst a profusion of potent Japanese beer, sake, bourbon, Scotch and all manner of native dishes, they saw Fujiyama mantled in unseasonable snow, famed shrines and spas, one geisha dance so laden with obscure symbolism that Host Osawa told his mystified buddies...
