SINCE Senators Robert Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy began competing for the presidential nomination, many political analysts have adjudged the opposed pair as alike as a couple of peas from the same unorthodox pod-at least where the issues were concerned. For their part, both candidates have protested that there were marked differences between them. When they agreed to an hour-long televised debate, the nation looked forward to a spirited exchange of their divergent views. Anticlimactically, last week's spectacular, displacing the Hollywood Palace revue on the ABC network, was no showdown, and it wasn't even good...
...well. Scorpion, like more than 70 of her sisters in the U.S. nuclear-sub fleet, carried only two buoys mounted on cables fore and aft to mark her position in the event of disaster, plus a handful of flares that must be fired to the surface and a pair of radio beacons mounted on floats. These drift about at the whim of wind and tide broadcasting in Morse code for only about six hours the ominous message: "S O S-sub sunk...
...first time the use of drugs, mostly marijuana, became significantly widespread among students at Exeter and Andover in the last two years. Exeter and Andover are very similar schools started one year apart by a pair of brothers about 200 years ago.

Headquarters is a pair of drab rooms above the Chicken House restaurant on Chicago's sleazy West Madison Street. No two chapters are alike. At Harvard, the 200-member S.D.S. is a thriving, cohesive force. At Ohio's Oberlin College, where no national officer has paid a visit in more than two years, the local chapter is a dispirited band of 35 students. The group has all but melded...
WHILE dissecting pupae in search of the liquid's production site, he noticed a pair of long, very thin tubes in the front part of the pupa. These were the remains of the silk-producing tubes of the caterpillar. They led to a single opening on the moth's face just underneath the mouth. It was impossible to tell exactly where the liquid comes from since the first drop appears suddenly and covers the face. Yet the mouth and the old silk tubes were the only two openings and the mouth could be discounted because Kafatos had already shown that...
