...Apollo 8 Astronaut Frank Borman received one of the warmest welcomes ever accorded an American during his triumphant tour of Russia. By no means, however, have the Russians dropped out entirely. Just before the scheduled Apollo 11 shot, the Russians launched an unmanned spaceship toward the moon-in an obvious attempt to win some attention away from the U.S. Actually, some U.S. space officials believe that Moscow has decided to leapfrog the moon and head for the planets...
...mishandling me," she says when she falls into the hands of an outlaw band. (Like every other utterance she makes this emerges as what can only be described as cultivated Indian--speech entirely devoid of conjunctions and intonation.) She is cold and resistant to Campbell's obvious sexual interest in her until Campbell is safely dead, at which point she strokes his hair, thus demonstrating her felling for him which she probably felt for some time but didn't deem proper to acknowledge. When she arrives at the two in which her father was killed, a hanging is in progress...
Fundamental disagreement occurs on the issue of what erotica does to the consumer. Critics of the new permissiveness assume as obvious that it is damaging to people, particularly the young, and that it leads to sexual license. But in the age of the in-depth survey and the microscopic sexual study, there is a remarkable dearth of information about the psychological impact of erotica on the normal?or more significant, ab normal?individual.

...Hole. Costly seismic surveys that backers now insist on have also tended to add to wildcatters' expenses. Oil has become harder to find in the continental U.S. as obvious geological structures have been exploited. Since 1963, Wildcatter Carl W. Van Wormer, who was once worth $300,000, has drilled 20 consecutive dry holes and has moved from a suite of four offices into a cubbyhole in Houston. Keegan Carter, of Kilgore, Texas, last hit oil three years ago. The whole town of Kilgore is in an economic decline, as are such once-wealthy wildcatting communities as Overton, Henderson...
...Giscard d'Estaing, 43, Finance Minister, was Pompidou's second choice for the job, after Antoine Pinay, France's personification of financial stability, turned the post down. Giscard was an obvious alternative, if a controversial one to loyal Gaullists, who dubbed him "Giscariot" after he opposed De Gaulle in the April referendum. Brilliant, rich and openly ambitious, Giscard affects an image à la Kennedy, has had himself photographed skiing France's Grande-Motte glacier and hunting wild boar in the Soviet Union. During his four years as De Gaulle's Finance Minister, he imposed drastic...
