...Venus," murmured Mrs. J. E. Thomson in San Francisco, as she gazed out the window at the night sky. "You don't know what's coming to you." Said Anthony Balestreri, a Milwaukee artist: "There's been a kind of awakening. I hope to God it continues. I noticed it in church a couple of weeks ago, when the priest mentioned Cuba. What we need is more of it. Instead of announcing from the pulpit that the bowling league will meet at such and such a time, let's hear how the news may affect...
...stopped right in the air. It was as if it were hanging there on something. The whole thing was shaking terribly, as if it were struggling to get started moving again. But something was holding it back. Then an amazing thing happened. The plane began to point to the sky. The whole nose began to rise upward.

Those that are 8 billion light-years away occur eleven times as thickly as those near the earth. If pairs of colliding galaxies are closer together at that distance, Ryle reasoned, noncolliding galaxies, which are 100 million times more numerous, must be closer together...

Particularly true to the author's style is the affection with which the camera almost caresses the land, the sky, and the waters of the Volga...
...Borscht Sky. NBC once trumpeted its color programing with the argument (in an ad) that in a world without color, "pea soup would look exactly like borscht, and can you imagine London enshrouded in a borscht fog?" As if carried away with the notion, the network presented Dave Garroway's Today show against something magenta that could only have been a borscht sky. And at the other end of Color Day, The Jack Paar Show-which is tinted nightly and which in more than three years has remained immensely entertaining-seemed much the same, on or off-color...
