...Negroes who sported telltale new clothes or possessions were hauled in on suspicion of receiving stolen goods. To avoid a similar fate, other looters began abandoning their booty. Police recovered more than 50,000 stolen articles: television sets, a score of sofas, hundreds of lamps, a truckload of beer. More than 3,000 of those arrested faced felony charges ranging from looting and armed burglary to arson and murder.

The world's largest vacuum chamber, which bulges into the shape of a 120-ft. stainless-steel beer keg and is big enough to swallow an entire Apollo moonship, will go into operation later this year. At the edge of the space center, a field covered with heaps of steel-mill slag and pumice is used as a practice area for simulated exploration of a crater-pocked lunar landscape...

On a large patio lined with flapping flags and dotted with tables shaded by orange umbrellas, customers eat inexpensive sandwiches (an overstuffed club sandwich costs $1.50) while the Eidelweiss Duo, decked out in Alpine costumes and playing accordions, punctuate their German and Austrian songs with an occasional yodel. As the sun goes down, people move indoors, and High Camp begins to resemble a cross between a sophisticated coffeehouse and a stylish supper club. At 7 p.m., Gushing kicks off the evening's entertainment with an oldtime movie, ranging from the ragged...
