Three Uniforms. For spacemen, the seven were remarkably down to earth. Despite the TV lights and the press-agentry at a packed Washington press conference, they showed such a basic earnestness and airman's conditioned self-possession, that 200 hard-to-impress capital reporters lustily applauded them. All were veteran test pilots, skilled in wringing out all manner of aircraft for the design engineers. Three were naval officers (two Annapolis graduates), three from the Air Force (no West Pointers), and one was-as he put it-"a lonely marine."

Wherever Kennedy went last week, he drew enthusiastic crowds. Nearly 1,000 turned out for a Milwaukee dinner; 400 showed up in Sheboygan; one man drove 100 miles to hear Kennedy speak in Madison.

The durable goods industries--which had been hardest hit by last year's recession--showed little more than the already predicted recovery rate, about...
...there was also the hard-core, the part of the folk song crowd which really believes that if you're gonna split atoms, well, you can't split ranks. They knew most of the words. They sat on the floor. One caried a copy of No More War. There were too few of them...
