...better sort of television has long been the province of Robert Herridge, 42, once called by Variety "the literary conscience of the medium." Using no sets but considerable imagination, he originated WCBS's Camera Three seven years ago, did productions of Hamlet, Moby Dick, The Heart of Darkness, a ten-part Huckleberry Finn. As a summer producer for the once-memorable Studio One, he did the fascinating Mr. Arcularis, by Poet Conrad Aiken, and Steinbeck's Flight...
...miko is a kind of medium and rural sorceress to whom people come for advice on marriage and business. This particular miko had a large following of women in what the Japanese politely call "the water trades"-prostitutes, bar hostesses, geishas. The miko told them to worship the Eight Dragon God at the Ryusenji Temple. That tore it.

And 500 women arrived...

...generals and admirals were reappraising the forward-base structure to see how it met the rapidly changing combination of military need and politics. The bases are indeed outgrowing the original military needs that spawned them. Many were built to bring the U.S.'s short-legged B-47 jet medium bombers within striking distances of Soviet targets and to provide for quick interception of Soviet bomber attacks. Prudently recognizing the danger of a military strategy that depends on bases in foreign hands, Pentagon planners rushed the development of military hardware that had the range to strike from home bases...
...being developed at Space Technology Laboratory, Discoverer is basic to U.S. space doctrine. That doctrine insists on the importance of gaining "capability in space." Space, the theory goes, is a new medium that man must learn to negotiate, just as he once learned to travel on water. A satellite that merely goes round the earth is like a raft floating helplessly down a river. Only when primitive men learned to guide their rafts with sails or paddles did they achieve "capability" on water. Spacecraft must accomplish equivalent guidance before space navigation is a reality. Discoverer, manufactured by the Lockheed Aircraft...
