Firmly he dipped his teaspoon into the apple jelly. Spoonful by spoonful he spooned it out of its bowl, placing it, as he says, "on the space on my tray where the fruit juice would have been on." When this was completely covered, he went on spooning apple jelly anyway...
...description of the Festival in limited space must partially involve the Communist technique of presenting issues in Vienna: oversimplification. One surprising aspect of this was the utilization of "Fascism." The Communists use the label of "Fascism" to condemn anything they oppose, and fascist techniques to foster what they favor. A fervent Arab communist would claim that anyone in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was a fascist, while a more educated Czech communist would admit the fascists were "less than 10 per cent," but reach the same conclusion by the subtle historical error of giving them credit "as the elite...

This alibi is wearing thin. U.S. instruments are indeed sophisticated, but to judge by their achievements, Russian space vehicles must be packed with gadgetry that is just as good, perhaps better. The Russians' guidance systems perform well, their radios work fine. So do their instruments, which have made important scientific discoveries deep in space, such as proof by Lunik II that the moon has no magnetic field. If Lunik III should round the moon and bring back pictures, or even nonpictorial data, about the mysterious far side, the U.S. would have to admit that the Russians are far ahead...

Will the space tanker explode? Will the colonel get lost among the stars? But the action is always trimmed closely to expert predictions. The show should spin into orbit...
