...sinister, moustachioed Dr. Dacquar (played by J. Carroll Naish, the only actor whose name I recognized). Dacquar takes orders only from "Hirohito, Heavenly Ruler and Prince of the Rising Sun," and has set up headquarters for the treacherous "Legion of the New Order" deep in the bowels of a Chamber of Horrors. The fun house, which contains exhibits as subtle as four fierce and leering Japanese soldiers pointing bayonets at a beautiful white girl, is the only occupied building in "Little Tokyo, part of a fallen (foreign?) land lifted and brought to the United States intact, but whose occupants have...
...York state troopers during last year's civil rights riots in Rochester, by National Guardsmen during the 1963 and 1964 racial riots in Cambridge, Md., by U.S. troops and Panamanian police in the Canal Zone crisis. Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara personally tested CS in a training chamber at the Edgewood, Md.. Arsenal 18 months ago, found it "damned unpleasant...

Though it must have been rehearsed on earth over and over again, this was surely a moment of hideous crisis...
...space-suit plans call for exchangeable equipment: a massive propulsive backpack for use in weightless space, and lighter suits emphasizing oxygen and cooling apparatus for exploring the moon. These suits have not reached the rigorous testing stage, in which men will wear them in a vacuum chamber under the glare of simulated space radiation. Less ambitious suits for emerging from Gemini capsules are farther advanced. Like the suit worn by Leonov. they will carry their own oxygen and cooling equipment and also trail an umbilical cord as an extra safety measure. They are designed to support life in a vacuum...
