...strongwilled, privileged little girl of ten to learn, but Wilhelmina learned it well; long after her abdication in 1948, the people to whom she belonged continued to refer to her affectionately as "the Old Queen." Last week, at 82, the Old Queen died in her sleep at Het Loo, the palace where she had spent her first years and her last...
Even in retirement at Het Loo ("The Grove"), she did not lay down the burden entirely. She had one wing of the magnificent 17th century palace converted into quarters for invalided Resistance fighters and refugees from Hungary and Indonesia. She painted, took walks, but no longer was she spry enough for bicycling. With her death, she had finally escaped from her earthly cage. And, as she requested, she will be given a "white funeral" because, as she wrote in her memoirs, it symbolizes "the certainty of faith that death is the beginning of life...
Such purposeful foolery, cooked up by Freberg in cooperation with the Manhattan ad agency he whimsically refers to as Batten, Barton, Durstine & Yangpoo, have helped make a flamboyant. 43-year-old businessman named Jeno Paulucci (pronounced Puh-loo-chee) the nation's most successful manufacturer of Chinese food.

This is the way the world is, and I ask you all to see the world as it is. The Soviet Union also knows full well that if it should in fact come to nuclear war, Soviet Russia will also be eradicated...
...Russians deliver big H-bombs? The Soviet rocket system that can loft a five-ton capsule into orbit can certainly deliver several times that weight anywhere on earth. Russian-built loo-megaton bombs would not be too heavy to be carried by rocket to New York, Washington or Phoenix. One such bomb could surely destroy New York, and its fallout would kill most people exposed within 100 miles or more downwind...
