...endorsements, eschewing a fine summer day and a free performance by the cast of Hair less than a mile away. Yet they were clearly bored by a peace candidate who-not illogically from his point of view-discussed the problems of the fishing industry in a district that includes Cape...
Vonnegut also asked the graduates to take advantage of some of youth's prerogatives. A "great swindle of our time," he said, "is that people your age are supposed to save the world. I was a graduation speaker at a little preparatory school for girls on Cape Cod a couple of weeks ago. I told the girls that they were much too young to save the world and that after they got their diplomas, they should go swimming and sailing and walking, and just fool around...
Unable to empty out the tank during tests at the Cape, NASA technicians applied 65 volts to the heater, trying to boil off the semiliquid oxygen. The voltage fused the inadequate 28-volt cutoff switches, allowing the temperature in the tank to rise to 1000° F. and damaging the Teflon insulation on the wires. This led to the arcing that occurred during the mission. Why did the Cape Kennedy technicians have to resort to this untried procedure for emptying the tank? Because, said the panel, the tiny tube through which oxygen is fed in and extracted had probably been...

When the buses return from Washington will most demonstrators, feeling they've made their contribution, disappear completely from the movement and spend the remainder of the strike on Cape Cod?

Russell Jr. has surpassed the record for heart-transplant survival set by Cape Town Dentist Philip Blaiberg, who lived for 594 days after his operation. Although Blaiberg was depicted as being hale and hearty as a Rotarian greeter, a recent book by his widow reveals that he was miserably uncomfortable, if not downright ill during most of his life with his new heart. Russell, who at week's end had survived 603 days, appears to be in far better shape than Blaiberg...
