...Walter Thompson Co., the advertising agency whose mission was once described as the discovery of "what it is that makes this product the white pea in the pod." The first members of Nixon's White House team...
...theory that a new, hard-line group has gained ascendancy in the Kremlin's labyrinthine power politics is intriguing, but far from demonstrable. As the theory goes, Russia's ruling troika-Kosygin, Brezhnev and Pod gorny-were called back from their Black Sea vacations by the party's new upper hand and presented with the decision to invade as a fait accompli. Aleksandr Shelepin, former chief of secret police and a longtime Brezhnev rival, is rumored to have put together the new alliance, which would probably include army leaders and militant young technocrats...
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.

Nixon proposed a broad program aimed at both organized crime and what he called "street crime," including legalized wiretapping, legislation to offset Supreme Court...
LEFT alone in the space ship, Bowman sees the monolith slab floating in space in Jupiter's atmosphere and takes off in a pod to follow it; knowing by now the properties of the pod, we can conjure images of the mechanical arms controlled by Bowman reaching to touch the monolith as did the australopithicines and the humans. The nine moons of Jupiter are in orbital conjunction (a near-impossible astronomical occurrance) and the monolith floats into that orbit and disappears. Bowman follows it and enters what Clarke calls the time-space warp, a zone "beyond the infinite" conceived cinematically...
