...Same Boat. Nasser had laid on quite a welcome. A pair of saluting cannons chugged steadily while the Egyptian army band played a carefully rehearsed series of national anthems, most of which were unwritten five years ago. The entire Nile Hilton was turned over to the delegates, and Shepheard's bar was jammed. For nondrinking Moslems there was belly-dancing in the Tent Caravan Nightclub at the Hilton...
...Martin Luther King Jr. pleaded for a "G.I. Bill" for Negroes, explaining: "Negroes must not only have the right to go into any establishment open to the public, but they must also be absorbed into our eco nomic system so they can afford to exercise that right. Giving a pair of shoes to a man who has not learned to walk is a cruel jest." King also urged that the Federal Government take stronger steps toward stopping civil rights violence in the South before it happens. Said he: "If our Government is capable of gathering intelligence information in a matter...
...many a sun-worshiping Southern Californian, the thick, eye-irritating blanket that often covers Los Angeles and has already pushed past the mountains into the San Fernando Valley is almost a way of life. The acrid murk is concocted in the area's own natural pressure cooker. A pair of the state's most abundant resources, sunshine and automobiles, cooperate...
Starting with a brother-sister pair of mice in the "mouse house" at Los Alamos, Geneticist Spalding raised generation after generation of mice, the equivalent of 900 years of mankind. When the males of one line of Spalding's mice were about 26 days old, they were dosed with one-third the amount of X rays that would have been necessary to kill them-as much as they could take and still reproduce. Females were not irradiated since a similar dose would have left them sterile...

In his much-publicized first novel, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, he catalogued the horrors of a Stalinist labor camp. His second novel (after a pair of anti-Stalinist short stories) is slighter and shorter, but the target is still recognizable. The concentration camps are no longer in evidence, but the Stalinist greasy-collared thugs have only turned into white-collar bureaucrats: bald, corpulent, obtuse paper shufflers. Their opponents are ardent provincial youths who scoff at party...
