...1960s, when he became a protege of Brezhnev. Just how this happened is still a mystery in the West, since, as far as Kremlinologists are aware, the two men's careers never crossed. In 1965, Katushev became the party head of the Gorky region. Two-and-a-half years later, he was plucked out of Gorky, where he had spent his life, and set down in Moscow. Last April Katushev was given one of the party's most sensitive and difficult assignments: he was put in charge of Soviet relations with Communist countries. He is also...
...Detroit, eight schools have already announced closing, and 42 others have been told that they must decide between consolidation and shutting down. In Philadelphia, the Catholic school system has mounted a mammoth fund-raising drive to head off a possible $10 million deficit next year. In at least half a dozen states, parochial-school lobbies are badgering their state legislatures for some kind of immediate help.

For the rest, there are antacids, perhaps other drugs-and, of course, that infernal bland diet...
...Hasselblad still cameras, 16-mm. Maurer movie cameras and roll after roll of color and black-and-white film the Apollo astronauts literally photographed everything within sight: Gumdrop, Spider, the third-stage S-4B rocket, themselves, and the curved expanse of earth below. During the somewhat more relaxed final half of their mission, they also tried out a variety of filters and specialized film to shoot infrared, green-light and other pictures that should teach scientists more about the earth and its resources...
