...famed Geneticist Trofim D. Lysenko, currently out of favor with his bosses, has tried hard-perhaps too hard-for a comeback. At a conference on farm problems, he backed a "new Russian agricultural discovery": plowless farming. Despite Booster Lysenko's proprietary enthusiasm, the technique (loosening soil with a disk harrow instead of plow-turning it over) is old hat to Western experts, has been tried experimentally in various parts of the U.S. for more than a decade...
...great tradition of American political oratory extends all the way from Patrick Henry to Disk Jockey Lee ("Three-D Lee-D") Dorris, who last week was hired to plug the candidacy of Cayce L.

...Minneapolis and St. Paul, near the start of the eclipse, the sun rose in a clear sky with a small bite of its bright disk already nibbled away by the moon. Early risers, on roofs or in parks, had a perfect view of totality, with all the weird effects that they had been reading about. But the scientists were taking no chances. One group, led by Dr. Donald Menzel, head of the Harvard College Observatory, took spectroscopic motion pictures from a high-flying Stratocruiser. A task force from the University of Chicago pictured the sun's glowing corona with...
