...gantries of Cape Kennedy's Missile Row loomed over a week of intense activity. First rocket off the pad was a giant Saturn, its eight-engined booster still the most powerful the U.S. has ever aimed at space. With deceptive ease it ignited, accelerated and climbed out of sight. A few minutes later, the second stage blasted into orbit. Sizable pieces, which are dummy Apollo parts, detached themselves and moved away, leaving a curious folded apparatus exposed to space. Slowly that great gadget expanded its accordion pleats and flattened into a shiny aluminum wing for the Pegasus...
Move Over, Cousin. And how about the competition? There were the 1965 factory Fords, breezing cockily around the 2½-mile oval, confident of sweeping everything in sight. Zoom! Past them flashed two 1964 Mercurys, privately entered cousins belonging to Bud Moore, a taciturn garage owner from Spartanburg, S.C.

This worsens until the eyes burn as though full of grains of sand, with accompanying frofuse flow of tears and swelling of the eyelids. The patient will dread the sight of bright light...
...sound like the awkward bounce of a head rolling over uneven ground. (His.) On Inauguration Day, suspecting that Nancy and Lyndon had prearranged key spots for her to be in, Rather shadowed her like a spy who had been left out in the cold. When he would catch sight of an NBC camera crew, Rather would quickly deploy a CBS crew to the same place...
