...aloof-even cool-a very private person. But, says a colleague: "She is not only an intellectual, she's also a very funny, witty girl." A bit bored with her bluestocking image, Nancy recently joked that "I really should have been a showgirl with my long legs." Her height, 5 ft. 10½ in., compared with Henry's 5 ft. 8 in., occasions jokes. Joseph Alsop once toasted her with "She's a great girl, even if she is taller than...
...quite dusty. Recently, radar astronomers suggested that Mercury has mountains as high as 4,000 ft., rolling hills and valleys, and some lunar-like craters, some of them perhaps of volcanic origin. Surface temperatures are far more extreme than those on either the moon or Mars. At the height of the Mercurian day, they may reach 940° F., more than enough to melt lead. At night they plunge to - 350° F. No living things could be expected to endure such a harsh climate; yet scientists do not entirely dismiss the possibility of some day finding evidence that water...
This computerized efficiency extends to the cattle themselves. When a hundred cattle are feeding at a bunker, one can detect no more than an inch or so of variation in the height of their identical-looking rumps. Uniformity is only partly the result of breeding. More important than genetics are the skillful methods used to turn every calf into a 1,100-lb., slightly blocky steer that will yield USDA Choice Grade Beef.

Her books range from North to the Orient to Gift from the Sea. At their best they establish her as a womanly writer of considerable skill and restraint and justly give her a stature apart from her role as the Lone Eagle's wife. "Damn, damn, damn," she once confided to her diary. "I am sick of being this handmaid to the Lord...
