...another, even before all the headlines from Cape Cod, Peyton Place's ratings were about as high as they could go. "Realistic Escapism." When Peyton Place was first announced for the 1964-65 season, the industry wondered if ABC programming had been taken over by some kind of nut. The network was not only gambling on soap opera in prime time but also doubling the stakes with another innovation-running the untested show two nights a week.

...state of weightlessness, without gravity to anchor the man, an astronaut attempting to put together a space station while in orbit could not hope to use anything as simple as the big wrench with which a car driver changes tires. Every time he tried to exert pressure on nut or bolt, he would turn in the opposite direction.

Winds howling up to 100 m.p.h. washed 13-ft. tidal waves over the narrow channels of the Ganges delta, flooding the alluvial fields, smashing and flattening the green stalks of the vital jute crop, ripping apart banana, betel nut and coconut palm plantations, uprooting giant mango orchards and inundating thousands of acres of rice. In East Pakistan's capital of Dacca, 125 miles from the sea, millions spent four terrified hours in the dead of night as banshee winds raked off corrugated iron hut roofs and wound them...
