...silence did not last. The top of the Soviet hierarchy erupted into controversy over Khrushchev's plan to publish the book, but at his direct authorization the novel appeared in the November issue of Novy Mir. The 95,000-copy press run sold out within days, as did the 100,000 copies in book form that quickly followed; by now, millions of Russians have read it, although it is no longer in bookstores and is gradually disappearing from library shelves...
...President Nguyen Cao Ky and his supporters, Thieu has consolidated his position to the point where U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker recently described his government as "more stable than at any time since the early days of Diem." Thieu described Minh's return as part of a national reconciliation plan, said he would soon send emissaries to Bangkok to bring him home by Nov. 1, South Viet Nam's National Day and the fifth anniversary of the anti-Diem coup...
Playing It Cool. The plan seems to be working. When S.D.S. Leader Mark Rudd tried to register, most of the students present looked on with bored amusement.

One commissioner, Robert Bartley, openly argues for the FCC's abolition and the division of its functions among three new agencies. "Let's burn down the old house with...
...that was the plan, the Russians were understandably secretive. For the more ambitious the mission, the more embarrassing it would be to have to admit failure if anything went wrong. "A base canard," said a Soviet spokesman in response to Lovell's statement. But Lovell had strong evidence to back up his story. Zond 5 had been tumbling as it approached the moon, he said, but it was finally stabilized. It passed about 1,200 miles from the lunar surface, radioing back great bursts of data and even voice transmissions-probably from a tape recorder. Finally there...
