Scientists speculated that the Soviets' more powerful rockets might have given the Red spacecraft enough extra push to carry it past Mariner on the 228-day, 325 million-mile voyage to the red planet. But the race was not so much a contest between nations as it was a confrontation with the inexorable geometry of planetary orbits. Both Russia and the U.S. had rushed their spacecraft aloft to get them through...
...Despite the fact that Rebel Boss Gbenye and his henchmen have been driven from their capital, the fight will go on for some time. In their rapid push to save white lives, the Congolese army left big rebel pockets behind. Many pessimists talk of a "Hundred Years War." How can the rebellion be crushed? The remedy, as Tshombe sees it, is a patient formula-denounced as neo-colonial by his enemies-in which white men will hold as many key jobs as possible for as long as it takes to mold an effective army and an efficient administration.

Top man in the sprints may be another sophomore. Andrew Grinsted...
What the chemists foresee is more and faster technological development. The conquest of space has opened up huge new possibilities for the industry, which is already deeply involved in creating the technology that will push that conquest further. In the not very distant future, the chemists expect to produce clothes that last a lifetime, auto oil that never needs to be changed, paints that never chip or wear, fertilizer that stays potent for several years. Their labs are already at work on chemicals that enable crops to resist frost and drought, preservatives that keep food fresh for years without chilling...
