...pleasant field. She stoops, picks a daisy, starts plucking its petals while counting, in the fashion of children from time immemorial. "One, two, three . . ." A man's doom-laden voice comes in stronger and stronger, finally drowning out the child's words. The man is count ing backward: "Ten, nine, eight . . ." The countdown ends, and the screen erupts in atomic explosion, followed by the voice of Lyndon Baines Johnson, who says somberly: "These are the stakes: to make a world in which all of God's children can live, or go into the dark.

Readers curious about the Sun's assessment of the com ing British elections had to wait until page 9, where a story by the Sun's political correspondent added up to the uninformative statement: LIBERALS HOPE TO HOLD THE BALANCE...

The recorder dutifully notes the squeaky sounds it receives as the nurse transmits a ten-second signal from each of the cardiograph leads...
...deep-down waves are vertical fluctuations similar to surface waves, but instead of rolling across the sharp interface between wind and water, they travel in transitional zones between water layers of different density. No one knows what causes them. It may be the turbulence of bottom currents flow ing over ridges and valleys of the sea bed; there may be a connection with the rotation of the earth. Some of Dr. Pochapsky's buoys rose and fell 100 ft. twice a day, although the surface far above them moved very little with the tides...
