Topsy-Turvy Life. Supplies are lowered to Sealab in a small, pressurized capsule-an aquatic dumbwaiter that brings in such goodies as chocolate cake and fresh meat to supplement the aquanauts' stock of freeze-dried food. The men can watch commercial TV but prefer to peer out the portholes at the fish looking in at them. During the flight of Gemini 5, Aquanaut Carpenter even chatted directly with Astronaut Gordon Cooper. In case of emergency, the men could get power and fresh water from a tube linking them to shore, and they could surface in a 14-ft. capsule...
...burial, Schweitzer's daughter, Rhena Eckert, as much as admitted that the hospital might have a hard time surviving. "We will try to carry on his work," she told reporters, "but Lambarene as a spiritual center is irrevocably gone." In time, the Gabonese villagers may come to prefer the gleaming white government hospital a mile up the river. But Lambarene, and the world, will always have the memory of a giant who tried in his singular way to love as Jesus loved, who oddly but honestly lived Goethe's song: The deed is everything, The glory naught...
...membership but the Continentals collectively have the greatest voice. The Continentals would thus like to keep reform a club affair not involving the underdeveloped nations.

At the same time, the Great Society should be able to afford a larger share of its anti-poverty funds for rural America, to provide jobs and training programs so that those who prefer to stay on the land are not forced into the cities. All this, coupled with direct, market-price purchases of commodities for the Food for Peace Program by the Government-rather than siphoning off surplus stocks-and the realistic prospect of greatly increased demand for U.S. farm products around the world, should...
...Touch of Loren. The European airlines are almost unanimously opposed to in-flight entertainment, prefer to lure passengers by stressing service. Though their service is basically the same as that offered by U.S. airlines, each carrier still manages to provide some individual touches. First-class passengers on Lufthansa drink German draft beer, eat smoked-ham sandwiches on black pumpernickel. Alitalia bills itself as the "simpatico" airline: its stewardesses, though trained to wear makeup that looks made down, never quite conceal that tantalizing touch of Loren that they all seem to have. The newest wrinkle in service is the package tour...
