...Cloud Castles. Nabokov's recall seems total. Across his greedy, adoring memory float the cloud castles of a childhood that vanished with the czars: a winter residence in St. Petersburg, a summer estate with five bathrooms and 50 servants, "a bewildering succession of English nurses and governesses" and tutors, long bicycle rides along the Luga highway with his beloved father, "mighty-calved, knickerbockered, tweed-coated, checker-capped," holidays in European seaside resorts and spas-all of it heightened now by the awareness of irretrievable loss. "A sense of security, of wellbeing, of summer warmth pervades my memory. That robust...
RANGO (ABC, 9-9:30 p.m.). The Lone Ranger reborn and played for laughs, with Tim Conway as a square Texas lawman and Guy Marks as his faithful Indian scout, Pink Cloud. In this episode, Rango is mistaken for an outlaw by a gang of cutthroats who promptly elect him their leader and take him on a series of holdups. Premi...

A cloud of astonishingly bitter anti-Johnson sentiments arose from the 18 Democratic chief executives present. Blaming Johnson for defeats in November, the Governors castigated him for pressing certain unpopular and unwanted Great Society programs on the public, for displaying an insulting lack of interest in local campaigns and for letting the National Democratic Committee disintegrate into a useless organization.

Starting with a mathematical model of the present distribution of interplanetary dust, they produced a set of equations describing the primitive solar system when, like R Man, it was surrounded by a vast cloud of dust. Low checked the predictions of this model against his R Mon readings, and found an almost perfect match...
Contracting Cloud. Though R Mon is a near neighbor, only 2,000 light-years away, its characteristics have universal implications. Most astronomers agree that the sun formed from a slowly rotating nebula-a cloud of dust and gas that gradually contracted because of gravitation, and began to rotate faster. When pressures at the dense center of the shrinking cloud produced enough heat, thermonuclear reactions took place and the sun began to burn, still surrounded by the outlying portions of the cloud-apparently the current state of R Man's evolution. As more of the particles fell toward the burning...
