...will carry many more instruments than the much smaller Gemini. With its farsighted cameras, radar and infra-red sensors, its crew will be able to make more accurate maps of the continents and ocean currents than now exist, forecast weather and survey crop conditions. The orbiting Air Force technicians will also perform telescopic studies of the planets, and investigate the proton showers and other radiation from the sun. But the most significant work will be for defense. MOL can be used to reconnoiter targets, detect nuclear blasts and spot missile firings. Already the Navy has asked the Air Force...
...writes: "He found it unbelievably painful to live. The only way of life offered him was intolerable, unworthy of men, fit only for insects. What was at stake was not a political regime but the one all-important issue: whether man as an individual, as a person, is to exist or not. All around him were faces exposed by sleep or contorted by nightmares; he alone was awake. It is always hard to be the only one awake, and it is almost unbearable to stand the third watch of the world in a madhouse, when it seems...
...rural resignation stands the excitement of India's great metropolises. Each of the country's major cities-Bombay, Calcutta, New Delhi and Madras-has its own similarities and its own distinctions. Calcutta and Bombay are linked in their visual splendor and their vicious slums; wealth and poverty exist cool cheek by grizzled jowl.

Where Bombay is sparked by its Parsi businessmen (descended from 8th century Persian fire worshipers), Madras is tempered by Tamil intellectualism...

Perhaps they exist in the admission of the major powers that each nation must choose by itself its own destiny and the form of its government, whatever that form may be. This seems to us the meaning of national independence, which our people found again with the hard end of the decolonization. If we are not able to remain indifferent to suffering of Vietnamese people, it is also because the principle of national independence is indivisible. We remember the words of John Donne, which...
...bought bedspreads changed that way of life. The durable coverlets remain as records of folk art in America, quaint but serious documents of the attitudes of a growing nation. Tucked away in the rural U.S. (as well as among urban hobbyists) nimble-thimbled women who follow historic patterns still exist, but the qualities that make a good quilter are hard to come by in modern times. Explains one mistress of the art: "It demands steady nerves, a pleasant temperament, equal dexterity with either hand, an inborn sense of line and form, Job's patience and time galore...
