Centuries of Bad Dreams. Later that same year, at Mainz, De Gaulle declared: "We proceed from the same race; we are Europeans, men of the West. How many reasons for us to stand by one another henceforward!" In another speech at Koblenz, he added: "Time will go by and wounds will be healed, but the wounds are deep and the healing time will be long." At a gala gathering in Freiburg, De Gaulle summed up his thoughts...
...frill school charges only $50 a month. Obedient to his smallest wish, Fuller's kids start the day doing three-R lessons in Spanish, then shift to Russian, later to Greek, and finally English. In the one-room-schoolhouse tradition, the oldest help teach the youngest. Thus all proceed at their own pace. The smallest tot begins writing in script, assiduously copying such maxims as "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." Art and science are similar exercises in demonstration, not experiment.

Whatever obstacles he stumbles into, Brainerd Holmes is determined to hit the moon on schedule.

...back to earth. Mode No. 2 is Earth Orbit Rendezvous (EOR), which requires two rockets to meet on an orbit around the earth. One of them fuels itself from the other and departs, replenished, for the moon. In mode No. 3, LOR (Lunar Orbit Rendezvous), a single rocket will proceed to the moon and park its manned upper stage in a lunar orbit. Then a small manned landing craft will descend to the lunar surface, stay there for a short while, and climb up again for orbital rendezvous before returning to earth...
Although Mrs. Pardue's all-Bach program was a difficult one, she was in peak form and her playing was almost note-perfect. For once I did not have to worry whether the performer could just get through all the notes; I could assume this, and proceed to concentrate on other matters...
