...photographs showed that the great gray-white stripes circling the planet seem to be hot, rising clouds and gases that have been drawn into bands by Jupiter's rapid rotation. The darker orange-brown belts that run parallel to the light bands are probably troughs of cooler, descending gases. Despite the planet's tranquil appearance from afar, it hardly seems hospitable to life. Its atmosphere is apparently ravaged, not only by great bolts of lightning but also by winds with velocities of more than 300 m.p.h. In fact, Jupiter's great red spot, long a puzzle...
...press conferences in his last year, Nixon said: "I have a quality which I guess I must have inherited from my Midwestern mother and father, which is that the tougher it gets, the cooler I get." Many who knew him well doubted that claim. They saw, or thought they saw, rage and consuming bitterness beneath the façade. But he did display amazing endurance and (with a few lapses) a remarkable public calm during more than a year of savage at tacks and adversity...
Frank Grinnel, a retired trucker himself, is the organizer of the affair. "I've been associated with the Roadeo since 1949," he says as he unloads equipment from the back of a station wagon.

His manner is gruff but friendly; everyone here seems to know...
...beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval. However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another...
According to Variety, Conrack is cooler box-office in New York than in other cities. You can't blame only semi-sighted, axe-grinding, propagandistic critics for its failure; the film has only one star, and little explicit sex or violence. But if critics were doing their jobs, rather than giving glib lip-service to politics, the film at least might have won the audience that flocked to Sounder. Conrack's makers took a story pregnant with social meaning and developed it in their own light, with unforced grit and soul; it would be scandalous if its poor showing kept...
