...Lenin's Banner, official organ of the Moscow District party, bared the Great Nipple Shortage. Last week, after tracing the problem from drugstore to Kremlin level, a pair of reporters revealed that there is not a single soska (rubber baby-bottle nipple) to be had in all the Moscow oblast. Although last year's central economic plan called for the production of 30 million nipples, only 12 million were actually manufactured.* The crusading reporters declared that the only plant making surgical rubber was denied authorization to increase production by the planners...
...voice of the Mother Church, the Monitor has faithfully sermonized for all its 56 years. "In the most legitimate of senses," says Erwin D. Canham, 60, its editor since 1945, "the newspaper is a public-relations organ for the religion."

But at least one kind of microscopic bug has a sex life with a difference. Professors Pavel Nemec and Vojtech Bystricky of the Slovak Polytechnical University in Bratislava report that the Caulobacter, a harmless bacterium found in soil, possesses a multi-purpose organ that...
