Despite ballyhooed breakthroughs and a carload of court decrees, the Deep South's resilient resistance to school integration has been remarkably effective: only 21% of the 2,980,000 Negro school children in eleven Southern states actually sat in classrooms last year with whites. As the school year began last week, however, that kind of tokenism showed evidence of crumbling, and its end seemed in sight...

For one reason, the Gemini 5 astronauts were able to get six or seven hours of sleep daily after the first few crucial days. When they slept in orbit, their heartbeats dropped to the high 30s. As they maneuvered their spacecraft and performed experiments, the beats rose to the 60s and 70s, which is about normal...

The nightly eleven-minute TV show has a huge audience of both children and adults, despite the fact that it is nothing more than a nonstop commercial, peppered with jingles, cartoons and celebrity testimonials that hawk everything from Stock brandy to "Tiger in your tank." Carosello is but one reason why TV advertising, little known outside the U.S. a decade ago, has become a $775 million-a-year business in a dozen countries, from Finland to Japan. This year that...
