...reach altitudes over 90,000 ft. with electronic gear to spy out defenses from far away, plus equipment to collect airborne radioactivity from Soviet nuclear tests. But the crowded U-2 carries few sophisticated navigational aids, and, to complicate the pilot's task, the plane, because of its gliderlike design, is easily blown off course. These factors forced the Air Force pilot to veer over Sakhalin...
...patently unqualified," he says, "and none of the other candidates is really up to the job." Speaking Out. Hughes does not seriously expect to win a seat in the Senate, but neither is he running just for fun. To get on the ballot at all, he had to collect at least 72,500 petition signatures. His devoted band of followers, largely made up of pacifists and ban-the-bomb marchers, actually gathered 117,636-a remarkable feat. He has spent $30,000 on his campaign, piled up debts of $12,000.

Nearly 1,000 U.S. newspapers, with a daily circulation of some 40 million, carry astrological columns with such thumbnail profundities as: "Leo (July 22 to August 21) : Avoid investing unwisely or trying to outdo the experts when you have not had sufficient practice or knowledge. Listen intently instead. Stand up under pressure admirably...
Pasternak's political beliefs were ambiguous. After he and his wife and two daughters left Russia in 1921, leaving Boris and his brother Alexander behind, he never again saw Russia. In Berlin he became a success all over again, was able to collect a sociable circle of intellectuals and almost re-create the happy prewar Moscow days. Yet shortly before the Nazis took over Germany, Pasternak tried to return to Russia, could not get in, went to England instead.
