...Every night," remarked Kansas City Councilman Charles W. Fisher, "I asked the Lord for guidance. When I saw that black cloud and the sheet of rain, I knew he sent it, and my prayers were answered.'' Those menacing black clouds, and the fierce thunderstorms accompanied by hailstones bigger than cherries, played an important role last week in answering the prayers of Councilman Fisher: he and the rest of his Democratic coalition slate, aided in part by the weather that kept many voters indoors, swept into office in Kansas City's municipal elections.

...cost of this program, said NASA Director Glennan, will be $485.3 million, and he warned Congress that future bills would be higher. "The cost of our space programs," he said, "will increase year by year. We expect that satellites will be widely used in meteorology-witness the Vanguard II cloud cover experiment-and in worldwide communications. The value of such advances will be counted in the billions of dollars...
