...When the curfew was moved up to midnight, jazz bands resumed their raucous ways and the noisy, bright-lit bars were awash with tipsy revelers and eager ladies of the evening. In fact, except for a few damaged buildings and the soldiers guarding the National Assembly, there were no outward signs at all of Korea's fortnight of revolt...
...spite of all the outward similarities, the difference in background was decisive when it came to disease. During the course of one year, the high school graduates suffered half again the number of illnesses that the college graduates did. Though few of these involved risk of death, the risk run by the high school men was ten times that of the college men. Above all, many more of the high school men showed telltale signs of future cardiovascular disease...
Pioneer V did not attain quite this speed, missing it by about 150 m.p.h. So instead of intersecting the orbit of Venus, it will stay about 7,500,000 miles outside. During each of its trips around the sun, which will take 311 days, Pioneer V will swing outward toward the earth's orbit. But only very rarely will the earth be there to meet it. NASA scientists estimate that at least 100,000 years may have to pass before Pioneer V gets close enough to the earth to burn up in its atmosphere...
Even if Pioneer V does not report except on its outward journey, it will yield information of great value. Many earth satellites have reported on conditions near the earth. Six shots toward the moon (three U.S., three Russian) have delivered data about space near the earth-moon system. But space far from any planet is still unexplored. This outer space is presumably traversed by vast clouds of material shot out of the sun, and they may behave differently when not near a planet. Cosmic rays and micrometeorites may behave differently, too. There may be stray magnetic fields wandering free through...
...this weird spiritualization of cash ("Money is the root of all good") is perhaps only an outward and visible sign. The real point of objectivism is rousing unembarrassed self-interest. For the best man is a tough-minded egoist, "a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute." Firmly convinced that her own one absolute is reason, Author Rand has gone so far as to boast: "I have never had an emotion that I couldn't account for." Less fortunate people...
