...surprised at how quickly the men's body heat raised the temperature from a chilly 50° to an uncomfortable 83°, speeded up the air blower to lower the temperature to 76°. Some of the men began to lose weight on a 1,500 calorie daily diet (two meals, consisting mainly of coffee, soup and peanut butter on wheat crackers), but when the ration was increased to 2,000 calories, many lost their appetite. The sailors talked mainly of girls and real food-and in the last few days mostly about food. Though only the two dozen...
Last week there was still another delay for a fueling check. At long last, every thing seemed ready. Around the world, 1 8 tracking stations got ready to follow the flight. Three flotillas of ships deployed in the Atlantic to pick Glenn up. Glenn followed his low-residue diet (steak, eggs, toast, tea), went through a series of last-minute physical exams. Then, on three successive early mornings, Dr. William Douglas, the astronauts' personal physician, gently awoke John Glenn from a sound sleep to break the exasperating news that the flight had been scrubbed because of bad weather...

It had one major drawback: serving almost entirely as a commuter college in a low-income area, it was expected to demand Harvard-level performance from poorly prepared youngsters...
...neutrality; in Japan. Ed Reischauer has the opposite task: he must keep an essentially friendly country from moving toward neutrality-or worse. Neutralism, Reischauer believes, is a more potent threat in Japan than Washington realizes. Though the ruling Liberal-Democratic Party has a safe two-thirds majority in the Diet, it commands only about 60% of the popular vote. If this margin swings to the solidly neutralist opposition, the U.S.-Japanese alliance would almost certainly be scrapped, and, argues Reischauer, "neutralism, if not open pro-Communism, would be shown to be the obvious 'wave of the future...
