...taken to a steak lunch at the airport dining room, where they (and Castro) watched Honored Guest Gagarin arrive in a sudden rain squall for the July 26 celebration. They were then escorted to the terminal hotel, where their room keyholes were stuffed with paper so they could not lock the doors. Armed guards stood in the halls, telephone calls were banned, a Swiss embassy representative was turned away. But no one was harmed, and next day the Americans were permitted to return to Miami in a regularly scheduled Pan American DC-6. Now their luggage included cartons of Cuban...
There was small cause for alarm when United Air Lines Pilot John Grosso reported, ten minutes out of Denver, that his Los Angeles-bound DC-8, with 122 persons aboard, had lost most of the pressure in its hydraulic system. The landing gear would still drop into place and lock. Once on the runway, Grosso might not be able to maneuver the steerable nose wheel, but reverse engine thrust would slow his plane down, and a reserve supply of hydraulic fluid would permit some operation of the main landing-gear brakes. As a last resort, the pilot could...
Major General Joseph Mobutu, the Congolese army commander who had kept him under lock and key, was now Tshombe's pal. Turning to Mobutu, Tshombe declared: "Because of men like him, the Congo crisis can now be ended. He is above them all, all, all, all."

Sterile air passes constantly through the rearing tank. A milk formula is slipped in through a sterile lock. Already inside are sterile eye droppers with rubber nipples. Every hour, 24 hours a day, the young animals must be fed by hand, always by the tedious process of working through a rubber gauntlet. Monkeys, with the longest "nursing" time, are the costliest animals to raise. Pigs are better: born with their eyes open, they are not a feeding problem, and when only six weeks old they are the right size for experimental surgery which may later be adapted to man. Small...
...Runwell in Essex, Dr. Bierer directs a "therapeutic community" of about 20 houses with 40 to 100 patients. He says: "To lock people up. one needs more rather than less staff; to keep people in chains, one needs other people to keep them clean. It is much less expensive to let them walk about and work and clean the place up for themselves. It is much less expensive to run day hospitals, workshops and hostels than to lock people...
