...pregnancy: married at 13, she is today the mother of six. Each morning at 5:30, Ramoo rises and trots off to the village well to bathe himself with buckets of lukewarm, silty water, then returns to his clay-walled hut and squats on the cow-dung floor for breakfast: a thick chapatty (wheat pancake) and a brass tumbler of scalding black tea. Ramoo owns only two bullocks, and with them he plods across his barren acres, dragging a steel-slivered plow designed in prehistory by some Indian prototype who faced the same harsh, crumbling earth.

Ballet or opera was the choice of enchantments for the evening-Choreographer John Cranko's intensely dramatic Romeo and Juliet, the swirling color of Yugoslav folk dances, or Conductor Thomas Schippers' sonorous rendition of Verdi's Otello...
...Philco's Applied Research Laboratories, has flown only as a passenger. Like his three colleagues who are not qualified to fly jets, he will undergo a 55-week training course that will eventually certify him as a jet pilot. He volunteered last year after his wife, at the breakfast table, read aloud a newspaper story about NASA's new interest in science-trained spacemen...
