Hangers-on attended to his needs--refilling the ice buckets, opening a new box of candy, offering to order dinner for him. Unidentified girls sat on couches and beds and said nothing; they were never introduced. Occasionally one of the Boys would deferentially light a girl's cigarette or send her out to buy dinner. The policeman on duty showed up about every 15 minutes with an autograph seeker...

For four days and nights, students and friends had hiked up the mountain with the bearded dictator.* At one point during the trek, Castro called for helicopter delivery of 1,000 quarts of ice cream for his weary followers. Tons of food, TV cameras and electrical generating equipment were hauled to the campsite, where eventually over 1,000 Cubans gathered with the Maximum Leader...

Sophisticated Conjecture. Such lunar theorizing is based largely on earthly experience. Barringer has already designed effective radar systems to measure the thickness of antarctic ice, which is largely transparent to many low-frequency radars and radio altimeters, a phenomenon that results in incorrect altitude readings and has caused several plane crashes. Barringer is also conducting laboratory experiments for NASA to study the possibility of designing a radar system that would measure the thickness of the moon's surface layer from an orbiting vehicle. He has bounced radar pulses off simulated lunar crusts made of porous lava and compressed lava...
