Peasant resistance to Mao's rural communes, though chiefly passive, has reached proportions alarming to Peking: food, coal, steel and industrial production are sagging far below earlier boastful figures. And for all his claims that Red China is moving into an entirely new phase of human development, Mao has found no other way to whip up his unenthusiastic masses than the timeworn device employed by every despot since the world began: border troubles, troop movements, and the bogeyman of foreign attack...
...peculiar laws, responding to electrical forces and creating them. The sun and stars are mostly plasma; so are many loose particles moving in space between them. In fact, cosmologically speaking, only in a few exceptional places does matter settle down and become electrically neutral. But since the human race lives in one of those places-the cool outside of the planet Earth-its scientists came to think of neutral matter as the normal kind...
...Chicago in connection with the Third Pan-American Games. But how much exercise is best? What kind? At what time of life?

...cash register in Manhattan's prospering art galleries, young artists across the land are turning back to images-but with a difference. The classical tradition, reasserted in the Renaissance, has always been that people are beautiful, at least in art. The new imagemakers dispute that. Their figures are human, but horrible. The horror school has its center in Chicago, is staffed by an earnest, loose-knit and surprisingly well-adjusted handful of Art Institute graduates...
