...looking and fast-growing place, spreading like a frontier clearing into a forest that formerly belonged to the earthbound Department of Agriculture. Its buildings, with odd antennas sprouting from their roofs, suggest the fearful complexity of the space age. Coaxial cables rear out of the ground and dive into the innards of electronic computers. Owlish young mathematicians wander in forests of electronics, flicking computer switches and managing somehow to look both callow and wise...

...Pacific with artificial auroras, and reddened the sky almost as far away as Antarctica. Brilliant, many-colored lights changed and danced over Samoa, flashed across remote Campbell Island 5,600 miles from Johnston Island. On the northern side of the magnetic equator, where the same atmospheric force lines dive into the atmosphere, parts of Alaska saw the northern version of New Zealand's aurora. The explosion itself was silent to human ears, but its power caused the earth's atmosphere and magnetic field to vibrate, jangling scientific instruments all around the world...

Last week leaders of the U.S. aircraft industry were locked in fierce competition for the privilege of building a "variable geometry" fighter that can stretch its wings at low speeds during take-offs and landings, or fold them...

...Wears 10A." With such courtesies attended to, Jackie boarded a special air-conditioned train for a look at India's tourist attractions. At Fatehpur Sikri, she watched in fascination as breechclothed youths made a risky, 100-ft. dive off a rampart into a well-and then did it all over again when Jackie discovered that her sister, Lee Radziwill, who was traveling with her, had fallen behind and missed the show.
