...walk a steady ten to 20 miles a day. When he is on the road, he and his disciples get up in some sleeping village at 3 a.m. There is a patter of handclaps, a tinkling bell, the flash of a kerosene lantern, the shuffling of sandals in the dust, and the little group departs for the next village, singing hymns. When he is not on the road, Vinoba gets up an hour later and meditates for an hour. At 5, he has his first cup of milk, swishing each mouthful exactly eight times before swallowing...
...Murray Peshkin of Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital took up the case against misdirected mother love. After many years of successfully treating asthmatic children by removing physical allergens, e.g., dust and pollens, from their environment, Dr. Peshkin found that he still had 10% who did not get better. And they always got worse when mother was around. The trouble, he decided, was that the mother was unconsciously rejecting the child, and the youngster's anxiety caused changes in his physiological reactions. Eventually the children learned (albeit unconsciously) that they could get loving care by having an asthma attack...
Rain during the night had settled the dust of the Korean roads, and the buses and Russian-made ambulances lumbering down from Kaesong to Panmunjom stirred up no clouds.

What caused the blast was an unexploded shell that had stood in the Rand dust outside the Stoltzes' door for half a century-since some unknown cannoneer had misfired or forgotten it in the far-off Boer War (1899-1902). To the long-memoried Afrikaners who back Prime Minister Daniel Malan, that war is still as explosive as the shell that killed Grannie Stoltz. Last week, at the polls, they went far towards reversing its verdict...
...modern flight-testing began to unroll around it. Fire trucks sped off and took up stations at one-mile intervals along the eight-mile runway. Two ambulances took positions in the ominous line. Two F-86 Sabre jets, a photographic and an observer plane, took off, blowing clouds of dust across the field. Another F-86 already in the air circled the field and landed. Its pilot was the Air Force's Major "Chuck" Yeager (TIME, April 18, 1949), the first man to fly faster than sound. He would fly "chase" on the X3, watching for the beginnings...
