...Yorty is certainly irascible, but he held his temper throughout the campaign, seemed almost cool in contrast to Jimmy. He pointed to the fact that he had cut city taxes, streamlined city government and improved garbage pickups. He outpolled Roosevelt 392,775 to 247,313, picked up 57.9% of the vote to Jimmy's 36.5%, with the rest going to six nonentities on the ballot...
...only alive today, he could be a Big Writer, for critics on both sides of the Atlantic have acclaimed his ability to describe repetitive fornication with elegance and grace. He could wear hand-sewn Italian loafers, sell his still unwritten books to the paperbacks and the movies for a cool million, and lecture at progressive colleges on "Erotic Realism in the Novel...
...Ayub Khan expected more of the same in Moscow, he was disappointed. The Soviet reception was correct but cool.

The inner ends of 2880 pellets of a germanium-silicon material were heated while their outer ends were kept comparatively cool by heat radiation into space. The germanium-silicon combination is "thermoelectric," it changes heat to electricity, and the difference between the two temperatures caused a faint current to flow. That current added up to about 650 watts-hardly enough to run a household toaster-but it was the first fission...
