...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...
...subtropical north to the blustery Strait of Magellan, campaign banners straddled the streets and radios blared political slogans. Last week 10 million people went to the polls in what should have been a minor off-year congressional election. Only 99 of 192 seats were at stake in the Chamber of Deputies. But the election was far from routine, as Argentines demonstrated once more that the strongest force in Argentina's murky present is the ghost of its past: exiled Dictator Juan Domingo...

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...
