...warmed the receiver until it drifted back toward its design frequency, Surveyor's ground controllers could not be sure. It was also possible that the craft's batteries had been completely discharged, that they had to wait patiently until solar panels generated enough electrical current to replenish them with a slow, "trickle" charge. Either way, there was no doubt that Surveyor was back in action, leaving JPL with the ironic task of trying to figure out what assignments to give it-the moonship had already done so much that there was little left to tackle...
...again in 1965. Russia turned to the West last week to replenish its perilously low stock of grain. The Soviets swallowed their pride and contracted to pay Canada $744 million cash for 336 million bushels of wheat over the next three years. With that and its recent deal to sell 250 mil lion bushels to Red China, wheat-rich Canada has committed to the Commu nist countries practically all its remaining grain surplus until...
...three girls had all trooped over to the Manhattan boutique of Designer Arnold Scaasi to replenish their spring and summer wardrobes. Mama Anne McDonnell Ford, 46, picked an evening outfit of bright pink sequins, but her girls, Anne Ford Uzielli, 23, who expects her baby in December, and Charlotte Ford Niarchos, 25, whose child is due this summer, bought loose-fitting, quieter frocks of black lacquered lace and peau de soie.

No sooner had the tank-and-jet performance completed last week's "Pakistan Day" celebrations than the Chinese collected the first installment of Ayub's debt. Into Rawalpindi flew Red Chinese President Liu Shao-chi and Foreign Minister Chen Yi for five days...
There's no mistaking it. The name is engraved on the facade, there's a huge framed picture of Sir Winston inside (Lady Churchill permitted use of the name), and a Watney's ale truck draws up regularly to replenish the draft. Inside, the effect is super-lush, with deep red plush seats, red-globed lamps, lots of traditional dark wood and highly polished brass fixtures. "Of course it's not a real pub. It's a parody of a pub for the French bourgeoisie," says a bearded Bait called Slavik, sipping his Old Forester...
