...career? Hardly. The irrepressible iconoclast bounced back, not by showing restraint but by being more boisterous than ever. As a TV interviewer, he became a master of the elegant insult. Even the people who hate him love to watch him. London's "Pop Socrates," as he is called, is equally intemperate in his writings, some of which have now been collected in a book, The Most of Malcolm Muggeridge (Simon & Schuster, $5.95).

This has been the longtime practice at several leading...
Kettering's senior physics master, Geoffrey Perry, began to suspect the existence of a new Russian launch site last March after his teen-age students recorded signals from the newly launched Cosmos 112 reconnaissance satellite and plotted its orbit. Instead of being inclined to the equator at 65°-the inclination angle of earlier Cosmos orbits-112's orbital path had an angle of 72°. Also, the satellite had been launched at a later time of day than previous Cosmos shots and had returned to earth after 122 revolutions, instead of the usual 124. In a letter...
Only a computer could master his tremendous achievements during the twelve months after Pearl Harbor, when the number of active Army divisions all but doubled, air combat groups almost tripled, and U.S. troop strength overseas rose from 192,000 to a million-the first of 8,000,000. Marshall had commanded a company in the Philippines and won commendations for coolness, and later for tactical brilliance in maneuvers.
