...volume of industrial production increased 84% instead of 80% as planned. The average annual rate of industrial growth was 9.1%, more than double that of the U.S. The Soviet Union holds first place in the world for production of granulated sugar, butter, woolen fabrics, metal-cutting machines, iron ore, coke, cement, reinforced concrete and timber. Obviously, the present changes were not caused by the painful sputter of the Soviet economic engine. Nor have the Communists seen advantages in capitalist methods. The reform means the transition to policy that conforms to the Soviet Union's present possibilities. By abolishing...
...generals toasted the Institutional Act with champagne. "Instead of stating that corruption and subversion are out," said a colonel, "this act declares that corruption is out, out, out and out, and subversion is out, out, out and out!" Many other Brazilians were dismayed at the government's iron-fisted turn to rule by decree.

...Dollar. Moccasin has overcome her share. As a yearling, she grew so fast that she was inclined to be lazy; to keep painful calcium deposits from forming in her ankles, she had to be "fired"-a process in which a veterinarian cauterizes the ankles with a hot iron.

She still won the 6½-furlong race by three lengths, repaying...
...clearest daylight pictures ever taken of a comet. Because of its close brush with the sun, Ikeya-Seki heated to an intensity that was easily recorded in detail by spectrographs, which gave scientists their strongest evidence so far of comet ingredients. Preliminary readings have already detected sodium, ionized calcium, iron, nickel, copper and potassium. Last week James Westfall, a young Caltech scientist, reported that his infrared observations of Ikeya-Seki were probably the first ever made of a comet. He is certain that the infrared emissions came from the comet itself and were not reflected sunlight. Analysis of this data...
...whoooooo. He heard the man fit the key in the lock and go inside very softly as if he were ashamed. Adele, he pleaded, just once. Willie took the knife out of his jeans. You disgust me, said Adele. Willie tied her wrists to the top bars of the iron bed and lifted her skirt. He felt faint. He glanced at the watch the teacher gave him. Right on time, Willie split Adele's pale belly open from the navel through the vulva. Whoo whooo whoooo...
