...into a buffer zone. That would be a tough proposal for the allies to accept, since it would effectively give Hanoi part of what it sought-and failed to get-in 1954: partition of the country near the 16th parallel instead of the 17th. The U.S. is likely to call for a return to the conditions set forth, and frequently violated, at Geneva in 1954, with emphasis on international guarantees to protect the South from a swift Communist takeover...
...sweet William and May apple and columbine bright on the ledges, the dogwood dotting the green rise to the west, the clear bulge of Duck Creek as it purls over the smooth stones through Duck Hollow. Eb ? his real name is Elbert, but one doesn't call a mountain man that ? is 56, and he went blind seven years ago. (Degenerative blindness afflicts many Appalachian dwellers as a result of in breeding.) Lank and long-striding in his pale blue bib overalls, his sightless eyes gleaming under a faded brown fedora, Eb stalks his 52 hillside acres mending...
Astronauts call their lunar landing trainer "the Flying Bedstead"-it is a wingless tangle of tanks, tubes and rockets that stays aloft solely on the thrust of its engines. One day last week at Ellington Air Force Base, Astronaut Neil Armstrong, 37, was hovering the contraption a few feet off the ground when it suddenly shot up to 200 ft., pitched sharply down, and rolled to the right.

Knight has never fancied himself a domineering press lord. Preferring to call his papers a group, not a chain, he encourages local autonomy, and his papers make the most of it. The Detroit Free Press (circ. 605,000), the Miami Herald (369,600), the Charlotte Observer (177,950), the Akron Beacon Journal (178,147), the Charlotte News (63,772) and the Tallahassee Democrat (29,300) are all increasing their circulation and are highly profitable. With interests in one television and three radio stations as well as three Florida weeklies, the group's total revenues reached $123 million...
...will shrug and leave. If, on the other hand, they ignore him and study the work, they will find it witty, ironic, subtly allusive. One lady collector recalls that, when her companion strolled toward one of Morris' grey Fiberglas doorshapes in a gallery, she suddenly felt compelled to call out "Stop." "I don't know why," she says, laughing nervously, "but it was almost like a man violating a woman." She has since bought a large Morris for her garden...
