...that Nixon be given $850,000 to meet his post-resignation "transition" expenses until next June 30, $400,000 above the sum specified in the Presidential Transition Act of 1963. Phone calls and letters to Congressmen and Senators are running overwhelmingly against providing such a large sum. Nixon has drawn up a budget for $250,000 in expenses, which can be challenged by Congress. This includes a puzzling $100,000 for "miscellaneous" costs, $40,000 for travel expenses and $20,000 for telephone calls...
...planet's interior by eddies and currents like those in a boiling kettle, Jupiter's heat helps shape its most prominent features. Pioneer's photographs showed that the great gray-white stripes circling the planet seem to be hot, rising clouds and gases that have been drawn into bands by Jupiter's rapid rotation. The darker orange-brown belts that run parallel to the light bands are probably troughs of cooler, descending gases. Despite the planet's tranquil appearance from afar, it hardly seems hospitable to life. Its atmosphere is apparently ravaged, not only...

A natural flyer, with as certain a feel for the whim of his plane as a bareback rider for his horse, he was ineluctably drawn to aviation's biggest prize: $25,000, offered by a New York hotel owner for the first successful completion of the 3,600-mile solo flight between New York and Paris. With the backing of some young St. Louis businessmen and $2,000 from his own savings, Lindbergh ordered...
...tensions mount in Southern Europe, Albanian warplanes drop nuclear bombs on Naples. Tel Aviv is destroyed by a nuclear attack from an unidentified country; Egyptian atomic bombs devastate London and Washington; China, the Soviet Union, the U.S. and Britain are drawn into war. Soon mushroom clouds cover nearly the entire planet...
