...Congressman Dante Fascell reported attending a club meeting in Miami: "After it was over, a bunch of the boys gathered around me and spent a couple of hours asking me questions about what I knew of the missile program and the international situation. I didn't detect any panic. There was just a genuine interest which I don't believe existed a short time ago." Said a Los Angeles sales engineer: "Six weeks ago I'd walk into an aircraft plant and it would look as if everybody from the chief engineer to the draftsmen was taking...

...favorite diversion of amateur astronomers is to watch the moon eclipsing a star. When the star touches the moon's jagged edge, it winks out all at once with no preliminaries. Even the delicate instruments of professional astronomers cannot detect the slightest trace of dimming or wavering. But if an astronomer on the moon were to watch the earth eclipsing a star, he would see a different performance. The star would grow dim and reddish like the setting sun, and its light would be bent by refraction in the earth's atmosphere, making the star appear to shift...
