...North Korean vessels came slashing in from the southwest. One was a 30-knot, Soviet-built subchaser, the others 40-knot PT boats. "Follow in my wake," signaled one of the small vessels. "I have a pilot aboard." The Korean boats took up positions on Pueblo's bow, beam and quarter. Two MIG jets screamed in and began circling off the American vessel's starboard...
...moon last week appeared to show only a crescent-shaped earth glowing in the lunar sky. But closer inspection showed two seemingly insignificant starlike dots of light on the night portion of the earth. They were historic dots. Each represented the light from an argon-ion laser beam aimed from Tucson, Ariz., and Wrightwood, Calif., at Surveyor's location near the lunar crater Tycho, some 240,000 miles away...
...beginning there was Superman. Today, reproducing like oversexed mutants, there is a whole squadron of superduper do-gooders streaking across the TV screen. They are not only faster than a speeding bullet, but they can also do things like liquefy and multiply, or fell a foe with a laser-beam glance.

The University of California (current enrollment: 95,320, which will grow to 140,000 by 1975) adds 8,000 students a year-the equivalent of Yale's student body. At its crowded, overgrown Berkeley campus, steelworkers clinging to an open I beam are as much a part of the Sproul Plaza scene as are the hippie protesters. Texas-size is the right phrase for that state's major public university, which has spread to ten campuses in seven cities with 52,631 students, 1,500 teachers...
