Front-Page Fare. Five hundred reporters have already arrived, clogging Jerusalem's cramped hotel space. Many of them stopped off first at the gas chambers of Dachau, Buchenwald and Auschwitz to refresh readers' memories with the tales of such folk as Use Koch, the warden's wife accused of making lampshades of human skin...
Cruising endlessly under water, the Navy's subs have a private atmosphere all their own in which a single supply of air is breathed again and again. Whenever the oxygen level gets low, huge high-pressure cylinders of oxygen refresh the air, and there is also an electrolytic cell that turns sea water into oxygen and hydrogen, shooting the latter out of the submarine. For emergencies, the Naval Research Laboratory has provided ingenious "candles" made of sodium chlorate and powdered iron. When they are ignited, they emit oxygen, not the carbon dioxide that is given off by ordinary candles...
...strange caravan stopped in Beirut last week to refresh itself after eight long months on the road. On July 11, a party of 101 Americans had moved out of Cape Town in a wagon train of 41 aluminum trailers and 41 pastel-colored trucks.

The adults among the travelers were all retired, and their ages...
...handshaking, get-out-and-meet-'em presidential primaries, friendly Pat Brown, the man from the nation's second biggest and fastest-growing state, is a living ad for the paws that refresh.

As potential leader of California's big (at least 68 votes) delegation to the national convention, Brown may hold make-or-break power over other party hopefuls. If nothing else, that kind of power may be clipped as coupons for the vice-presidential nomination...
True to tradition, Heathcoat (pronounced heth-cut) Amory held aloft Gladstone's frayed red dispatch box as he strode in to members' cheers last week. But as he plunged into his businesslike speech, pausing only at a reference to milk processing to refresh himself with a glass of milk thinly laced with rum and honey,* the House soon realized that the self-effacing Chancellor had produced an even more self-effacing budget. He had decided that Britain was not going to get caught in the American recession, but should not risk trying to expand its economy just...
