...mourning the death of a party bigwig; he is denounced for antiSemitism, mysticism and "morbid eroticism"-being in love. Furthermore, he cannot get the Chinese question fixed in his mind. He is jailed but eventually wangles a job in the Department of Animal Breeding supervising the production of purebred rabbits for the entire district. The pair of rabbits assigned to Roitschwantz are dead, but by purely theoretical calculations he reports that the rabbit population has reached 260,784. The episode is a high-spirited and hilarious parody of the statistical romanticism of the five-year plans...
Deep under the china-blue Straits of Florida last week prowled a black and sinister shadow: the U.S. nuclear submarine Skate. Since Skate is almost as fast as any surface vessel and can dodge like a rabbit, the U.S. destroyer leader Norfolk had little chance of touching her with conventional antisub weapons. But on the Norfolk's afterdeck a clumsy-looking box swung like a gun turret. A section of it tilted, doors popped open, and with a screaming roar a slender rocket slanted upward, trailing a feather of flame. Near the top of the climb the engine section...
...epochal discovery that inactive virus could give protection against rabies, thousands of bite victims each year have started the course of 14 shots.

But after commiserating with the complaining parents, Mason left Teacher Levin's fate to Edison's Principal Hiram Alexander, who said fretfully: "We all make mistakes. She's really a good teacher." Last week, after long mulling, Alexander issued...
With the same instinct that tells crapshooters a big game is about to begin, politicians last week sensed a new and imminent struggle in the Democratic presidential race. Jack Kennedy was still running like a jack rabbit in Wisconsin, and everybody-but everybody-was willing to concede that he could, should and would take the Wisconsin cheese with ease. At the same time, without any call to arms, Kennedy's rivals were instinctively edging into positions that would make it easier to set up a stop-Kennedy coalition...
