...contrast to Mayor Katz, who fought a demagogic battle for the nomination (his opponent was "a radical, extremist, and advocate of black power") Hatcher ran a smooth, cool campaign, carrying his appeal to white as well as Negro neighborhoods, promising equal treatment to both. Though a fraction (4.5%) of the city's white voters did cast their ballots for him (as well as 10% of the Negroes), Hatcher indirectly owed his victory to the white-backlash that gave George Wallace the overwhelming support of Gary's white voters in the 1964 presidential primary.

By a half-mile-gone, both crews had settled to 36 -- high. It was smooth swinging Harvard by a half length. In the next quarter mile Harvard, at 34, took another length...
Unlike most scientists, Chemist Urey believes that water-not lava-formed the smooth lunar plains and filled-in depressions revealed in photographs taken by Ranger and Orbiter spacecraft. The dark plains, he says, "look precisely like the bottoms of dried-up, primitive oceans or lakes." And material in filled-in craters and crevices may once have been flowing...
...moon theory on far more than mere visual evidence. As he sees it, most of the earth's stony meteorites come from the moon, knocked off by other meteorites and occasional comets that have bombarded the lunar surface. Imbedded in many of those moon-sent meteorites are smooth fragments that appear to have been shaped by frictional effects like those that would be caused by flowing water. They also contain such minerals as clay-type silicates and calcium carbonates that Urey says "can hardly be accounted for except by the action of liquid water over some length of time...
Master Richard Gill, who plays the Count, would be well worth hearing by himself. His voice is as majestic as his bearing; he is at once dramatic and agile. If his tone quality were only a little more variable, if he could sound sweet and smooth when necessary, he would be unassailable...
