Pleas for Unity. It began in Cleveland at a $5-a-plate chicken luncheon. Three thousand people jammed the main ballroom and balconies of the Sheraton-Cleveland Hotel, overflowed into an extra room, where they watched Goldwater on closed-circuit television. He kept them cheering with his charge that the "far left" is more dangerous to the U.S. than the "far right." He slammed the Kennedy Administration hard for giving more than "50 important policymaking jobs" to members of Americans for Democratic Action.

...enduring miracle is Stan Musial, who at 42 is at last about to retire. His .257 batting average this year is well below his .333 lifetime mark.

To locate anti-Xi-zero, the physicists first had to find the byproducts of the collision that produced it. These visible byproducts could only have been balanced by the invisible anti-Xi-zero, which would decay an instant later, leaving visible debris. Of the 300,000 photographs they examined, only three showed the predicted evidence of collision and decay that could only have come from anti...
