Hoppe may seem overly critical of society, yet he remains an optimist. As he looks ahead, he predicts that by 1976 the welfare state will have met most human needs through "medicare, denticare, judicare, menticare and ped-icare." And then Actor Rock Hunter will run for the presidency by advocating "the greatest welfare program of them all." From coast to coast, Hunter will thunder: "Do you realize that two-thirds of our nation goes to bed each night ill-content, underloved and alone?" Hunter's answer: "Sexicare...
Walk on Water. At sea, the two remaining contestants in the first singlehanded, nonstop sailboat race around the world are trying to better the record of 312 days set last month by Britain's Robin Kriox-Johnston. A onetime big-game hunter and whisky smuggler named John Fairfax is rowing a 22-ft. boat 3,300 miles from the Canary Islands to Florida. Honors for freakish firsts, though, must go to Aleksander Wozniak, a Polish exile and former R.A.F. fighter pilot, who fashioned a pair of 3-ft.-long, canoe-shaped shoes out of wood and walked 33 miles...

While teaching political science at New York's Hunter College in the 1920s and '30s, she was one of Communism's most strident U.S. voices. In 1949, she fell afoul of the party for departing from the Moscow line, and thereupon turned 180°. She was a frequent and damaging informer during the McCarthy Senate hearings, eventually grew so conservative that last year she ran (and lost) for U.S. Congressman...
Snarling engines. Dark goggles. Billowing dust. Hell's Angels in California? No, Viet Nam, where the U.S. military, never tiring in its search for methods to find an elusive enemy, has just added the motorcycle to the hunter's inventory that has, at one time or other, included such exotica as people-sniffing bedbugs, infra-red photography and side-looking radar...
