Into Loneliness. As he armed himself for a long season of crisis, John Kennedy had notably changed from the zesty Bostonian who took the oath of office last January. From the start, Kennedy knew well that his job, carrying with it sole responsibility for decisions of imponderable magnitude, had forced every President before him into an unwanted, unique loneliness. Yet it was still a surprise that he had retreated into the isolation of power so early. A gregarious man with uncommon social charm, Kennedy has become steadily less and less available to old college and political pals. Once the most...
Seeded a lowly eighth in what amounts to the world championship of amateur tennis, McKinley was considered America's sole hope to capture its first men's title in six years-and a forlorn hope at best.

...Long concerned with the U.S. kitchen, engineers of Whirlpool Corp. (dishwashers, freezers) escaped into deepest space. Worried that dull food during long journeys may drive astronauts dotty, Whirlpool last week was busy testing a space kitchen designed to serve Swiss steak, baked ham, filet of sole, cakes, cookies and other goodies out of gleaming bins and refrigerators. There will be three electric ovens; from nozzles hot and cold water will spurt into collapsible tubes containing dehydrated coffee or fruit juice, so that the weightless spacemen can drink by squeezing the liquids into their mouths. Built under Air Force contract...
