...Henry Cabot Lodge-marvelous! The more I thought about it, the more delighted I became. It's like a breath of fresh air to have a candidate, written in or not, going about his business and not calling any opponents any nasty names. MARY JEAN KALIN La Mesa, Calif...
...British Bahamian islands, the tiny rock looks big. For the tourist, there is an average temperature of 76°, fresh water aplenty (if that's what he wants), miles of beaches and a swash buckling past peopled by buccaneers and Prohibition rumrunners. Even to day, one Freeport beer baron still uses his old Chicago sobriquet, "Shotgun John." For the industrialist, there is total exemption from corporate, personal and export taxes, and the kind of environment to attract executive talent...
...nonconductor. When a section of tantalum remains, it acts as a resistor. A strip of gold and chromium is a good conductor, and serves as a thin wire. Capacitors can be made by covering tantalum with an oxide that acts as an insulator and then laying on a fresh film of gold. To make a complete circuit, tiny silicon transistors are electrically bonded to the proper sites. Complicated as it is, the process is wholly automatic, and up to one hundred microcircuits can be manufactured on a piece of glass 2½ inches square...

In Phumy itself, U.S. Army medics opened health stations, government teachers repossessed the schools, workers began slapping a new aluminum roof on the market.

Inhabitants flocked back to the village in droves, and within a week the streets swarmed with mobs of children, eagerly accepting Life Savers from U.S. advisers and schoolbooks distributed by the province...
...admire decency and we despise death, but even the mountains seem to shift in the space of a night and perhaps the exhibitionist at the corner of Chestnut and Elm streets is more significant than the lovely woman with a bar of sunlight in her hair, putting a fresh piece of cuttlebone in the nightingale's cage." > A drunken Episcopal priest who has forgotten his liturgy may utter a valid prayer: "Let us pray for all those killed or cruelly wounded on thruways, expressways, freeways, and turnpikes. Let us pray for all those burned to death in faulty plane...
