...bases that no new U.S. force, no matter how strong, could possibly break through to disturb the inner empire. The island of Midway, 1.136 miles northwest of Pearl Harbor, was to be the final link in this defense chain. At the end of May 1942, some 200 ships, the bulk of the Imperial Navy, converged for an invasion of Midway and a second surprise attack on the battered Pacific fleet...
Half a million indigenous peoples called Muruts, Dusuns, Brunsis, Bajaus and Kedayans live there, as do 100,000 Chinese who form the bulk of the commercial community. Western civilization, blown ashore by the winds of the British Empire a century ago, maintains a foothold on the coast. Only recently has the interior -- protected by mountainous jungle, leeches, more than 400 species of snake, wild pigs, monkeys, birds and butterflies -- begun to buckle under the bulldorers and books of the 20th century...

...news conference in Mos cow, top Soviet scientists disclosed that Luna 9's instrumented, picture-taking payload stood only 2 ft. high and weighed a mere 220 Ibs. The remaining bulk of the 3,428-lb. craft that the Russians fired into space consisted large ly of fuel and the retrorockets that slowed Luna 9's final descent. In addition, the payload was detached from its rocket engines just before impact and hurled to one side, well away from the area that was disturbed by the fiery blasts of the descending retrorockets...
