...involved; no manned U.S. spacecraft had ever failed to complete its planned mission. But Kraft, as ever, was the cool and deliberate flight engineer. He used every available moment to weigh every contingency. He ran a check of the spacecraft. All the key systems, such as cabin pressure, oxygen flow and cabin and suit temperature, were normal and running perfectly...
...opposed tableaux - riot ing and registering - were interwoven. Denied for nearly a century the en franchisement that was vouchsafed them by the 15th Amendment, deprived as well of all the benefits that flow from political power, the Deep South's Ne groes have for decades sought a better life elsewhere: in the slums of Harlem, Detroit, Chicago, Washington, D.C. -and Los Angeles.

By contrast, a Norwegian fellow spotted a German at whom he had thrown a hand grenade during World War II, and they became intellectual buddies...
Feeding Confidence. Last week's announcements were a continuation of the steady flow of weekly and monthly Government statistics that has helped to keep the current economic advance going, bolstering confidence and thus promoting decisions by industry that reinforce the trend. Each year the U.S. Government spends an average of $150 million to produce some 4,500 daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual statistical reports about the nation's economy, covering everything from the annual production of infants' anklets to the yield per acre of peanuts picked in Georgia. Though there is an argument about the accuracy...
