Balaguer faces most of his opposition on the left, which is fractured almost to the point of incomprehensibility by at least eleven squabbling factions that range from Maoist to moderate social democrats. Moreover, the left is virtually as leaderless as it is splintered. The left's old hero, Juan Bosch, whom Balaguer defeated for the presidency in 1966, remains in voluntary exile in Spain. Similarly, another potential leader, Francisco Caamaño Deó, 37, who was the military commander of the anti-establishment "Constitutionalists" during the 1965 civil war, is reportedly holed up in Cuba or The Netherlands...
...flown to the moon. "I think we should get overtime for that," he complained. Borman was joking about his pay, but he was quite serious about his aging. During their moon mission, the astronauts aged about 300 microseconds (300 millionths of a second) more than the people they left behind on earth...

"He forces the mid-left and the mid-right to make a choice, and so depopulates the center of its buffers. This is more dangerous than anything else...

In the past four years, they figure, the average price of silver pieces has approximately doubled...
...quantity the individual may be among the factors that make history, he is a factor." Such inwardly directed views led him in 1947 to write The Question of German Guilt, which outraged many of his countrymen for its theme of collective culpability for World War II, and he left Germany in 1949 to teach at Basel University. Most of his works were agonizingly abstruse and seemingly preoccupied with reconciliation to failure and death as prescriptions for personal salvation. But The Perennial Scope of Philosophy (1949) was both a definitive defense of his own existentialist position and a vigorous affirmation...
