...condoned under particular circumstances. He points out that the vast majority of youths in Western societies go through long periods of protracted sexual tension. With the welfare of man as his criterion, Simons suggests that it is psychologically better for them to release this tension by masturbation than to prolong it at the risk of developing a morbid preoccupation with sex. The Catholic church's inflexibility in condemning remarriage after divorce is also not in accord with the modern view of human welfare. All efforts should be made to discourage and prevent divorce, Simons says, but he also believes...
...flew to Arequipa last week. Menzel, a seasoned eclipse-observer with well over a dozen expeditions to his record, will be aboard a jet plane as November 12 dawns, at a height that will assure cloud-free visibility regardless of the weather below. Being airborne will also serve to prolong the viewing duration o the eclipse. For ground-based Noyes, totality will last about 90 seconds; but by flying at jet speed in the direction that the sun travels across the sky, Menzel will keep up with the eclipse for up to two and a half minutes...

After a Czech scientist discovers how to prolong miniaturization, U.S. agents spirit him across the Atlantic. Alas, before he can explain the discovery, he is attacked by enemy operatives and left in a coma caused by a blood clot in midbrain. Since no conventional operation is possible, the high command approves a daring plan: a miniaturized submarine with a crew of shrunken specialists (led by Stephen Boyd and Raquel Welch) is injected into...
