Inevitable Pause. Dobrynin arrived on time. While waiting for the presidential summons, he complimented Rostow on his tan, recently acquired in the Virgin Islands, and complained genially about the capital's damp heat. "But Moscow does not regard Washington as a hardship post," he chuckled. Then they went upstairs to the first-floor Cabinet Room. Johnson joined them after a few minutes. He ordered a Scotch and soda for his guest, a Fresca for himself. He took his cus tomary seat at the table's center, with Rostow on his left to take notes. Do brynin, across...
...could drop a module several miles off target, were caused by local increases in lunar gravity brought about by areas of dense material beneath the five circular maria, or "seas." The concentrations of mass, called "mascons," may have been caused by the impact of large meteors, which generated enough heat to melt material below the surface of the moon and form regions of high density...
...most courted combatant in the history of war may well be the Communist in South Viet Nam-or rather, the potential Communist defector.

The confrontation was diverting as an exhibition of personal antagonism, but the political issues were almost entirely...
Although these programs-and similar ones in other cities-all seem partly designed to cool the heat of racial tensions, nobody expects them to cure the ills of the ghettos. Says Washington's James L. Jones, director of youth programs for the District of Columbia mayor's office: "Problems that are not caused by music are not solved by music." But pending longer-range social solutions, curbstone concerts at least serve a useful role as entertainment, education, and reassurance to ghetto residents that they are not forgotten...
