...Palestinian refugees (there are half a million in Jordan) are hostile to Hussein's government. Taxi drivers and civil servants, businessmen and doctors (first looking cautiously over their shoulders) admit to being pro-Nasser and anti-Hussein. A government censor scans the Amman newspapers to be sure they contain nothing critical of King Hussein; yet he also smilingly taps a picture of Egypt's Nasser and observes: "A good man."

To Nasser, in Moscow after the Iraq revolt last fortnight, Khrushchev boasted that he had weapons that could turn the Sixth Fleet into "coffins of molten steel for its sailors," but Khrushchev's Security Chief Ivan Serov nonetheless warned Nasser...

He analyzed tektites and found that they contain considerable amounts of radioactive isotopes (beryllium 10 and aluminum 26) that are formed by cosmic rays in space. This rules out the moon, he says. If tektites were splashed out of lunar meteor craters, they would have to come from at least a small distance below the moon's surface, where they would be sheltered from rays...
