...which he is working. To a limited extent, of course, this is both necessary and desirable. The Corps member should obviously be flexible and open to new experience. He should realize, however, that a simple-minded attempt to become an African or an Asian peasant by adopting the outward forms of their life will not accomplish any constructive purpose. No matter what he does, he is not an African; he will remain an American, and no mortification of the flesh will change that fact. Leaving aside for the moment considerations of health and nutrition, it is certain that any American...
During those critical hours, John Kennedy to all outward appearances acted coolly. The day after the invaders landed, Kennedy responded forcefully to Nikita Khrushchev's message threatening to give Castro "all necessary assistance in beating back the armed attack."

"A single educational dollar spent to have a child's creativity at age six from Davy Crockett would do more than $10,000 given to a technician at 40," Viereck said...
...blasted off from a secret U.S.S.R. test base-a huge rocket that hurled into orbit a huge satellite. The satellite separated into three parts, and one of them moved outward, leaving the earth's environs forever. Then Moscow announced triumphantly that "an automatic interplanetary station'' weighing 1,419 lbs., emblazoned with the Soviet coat of arms, was on its way to Venus-or thereabouts...
