Adnan Menderes, the man who walked bloody but unbroken from a 1959 plane crash that killed fifteen, was not the man to moderate his ways in such an hour. Next day he went on the air to charge the Republicans with virtual treason. The students, he said, had become "tools of conspirators" and "fanatic party followers." He called their demonstrations "plots against the country's security." "They will soon learn," he said in his disarmingly soft voice, "what it means to stand against the state."

Apportioned between the halves of the dividing cells, the duplicated DNA molecules determine whether the new individuals will be men or muskrats, pine trees or pineapples. The hereditary characteristics of the next human generation-of about three billion people-will be controlled by one fifteen-thousandth of a cubic inch...

At about 3 o'clock, Pilot Ed Laparle, 57, checked on the radio with Indianapolis Control Center, signed off with an all's well. Fifteen minutes later, a farmer in the Ohio River town of Tell City, Ind. heard "popping sounds, like shotgun shells or a little louder." Looking up, he saw the Electra break in two pieces, the right wing looping off in one direction, the rest of the plane plunging toward a soybean...
