Discovery. Mike's use of so hallowed a table symbolizes no bottomless irreverence for Alaskan tradition, but rather the muscular spirit of the ever-changing, booming vastness that was once a faraway, forgotten frontier. As Governor, he has, in a sense, discovered Alaska all over again. "Man," says he, "it wasn't until I got into office that I really began to appreciate, with our resources potential, how much we could have accomplished even by now, if only we had the freedom and the responsibility to operate...
...Bulganin, though replaced as Khrushchev's traveling partner for last summer's tour through East Germany, stayed on as Premier. When in last month's Supreme Soviet elections, he was shunted to a faraway Caucasian constituency and nominated for far fewer places than other big shots, Moscow watchers knew his time at last was up.

As Rumple, a newspaper-cartoon character in danger of extinction because his creator has lost the power to portray him, he fights for survival with tactics that happily are more Foy than...
Army Chief of Staff General Maxwell Taylor staked Army's claim to the next but faraway great step in weaponry, the defensive missile system to stop the attacking missile. He plugged hard for an Army project called Nike Zeus-"which already partially exists in the form of research-and-development components"-as the basis for an anti-missile missile program, thus by inference downgrading the rival Air Force Wizard anti-missile project (as well as an Air Force Pentagon-corridor campaign to put the Army out of the defensive antiaircraft missile business altogether...
