...speaks very quickly, slurring his words together. A great story-teller, he gets so excited about his tale that he fairly gurgles with delight, leaving sentences unfinished as he dashes for the punchline. Chuckling often as he speaks, he occasionally looses a loud, almost demonic laugh...
...delight of photographers, Lady Bird donned a missileman's hard hat at a jaunty angle while Center Director Wernher von Braun clapped on his own head a Texas-style hat the President had given him on a recent visit to the L.B.J. ranch. At a cafeteria-style luncheon, she picked up the check for 59 of her visiting Alabama "kissin' cousins." She could hardly keep them straight, and small wonder.

Machines are becoming almost as communicative as people-to the delight of big communications companies. Computers chatter over great distances, exchanging complex data in whirring tones, and telegraph and teletype clatter with increasing volume across the oceans. Such conversations between machines offer the communications companies their most exciting prospects for the future. Thus it was doubly disappointing to American Telephone and Telegraph that the U.S. Government last week shut it out of most of this business on the busy transatlantic circuits...
