...Committee on Elections has come up with a plan to insure that no such issue will be raised again. In its comprehensive report issued last week, the Committee recommended a series of rigid controls to guarantee the efficient and successful conduct of all future voting under Council jurisdiction. No longer will the date of elections be in doubt until the last minute; no longer will even the possibility of inaccurate counting be conceivable. A committee of Council and House Committee representatives will safeguard the ballot boxes and, as the report puts it, "remove as far as possible from the election...
...make service life (and TV watching) tolerable. He was one of those rare peacetime soldiers, a guy who never figured to need any "shipping over" music; any Army recruiting sergeant could recognize him as a 30-year man. But Phil Silvers' sponsors (Reynolds Tobacco, Schick Razor) no longer agree. Lately, the Bilko episodes have become more strained, more cluttered with guest stars.

Then he injected marrow cells taken from...
...little more than a week since Vag had returned from the City and already he was growing unhappy with Cambridge. The weather no longer depressed him, for that had improved, but something that he could not pin down bothered him, something about the atmosphere of the University itself. Looking ahead of him, Vag could see his future stretching like a straight railroad track, the parallel rails appearing to come closer together as they ran across his mental landscape...
