...Bottom. "?La Bomba es recuperada!" shouted villagers in the fishing town of Palomares five miles away. "They have pulled it up!" In Madrid, one newspaper suggested that the recovery was a Holy Week "miracle." For Palomaresinos, the splash-out meant a return to workaday chores that will always be colored by the phantasmagoria that ensued after a bomb-laden SAC B-52 collided with a jet tanker in their skies last Jan. 17.

If all goes well, by the time Borman and Lovell splash down on Dec. 18, they will have been in the air for as long as the longest estimated Apollo mission to the moon will take. They will have flown the heaviest (more than four tons) Gemini capsule yet, and undergone the most extensive in-flight medical tests.

...many journalists ever make it big in politics. There were Winston Churchill and Warren G. Harding. But journalists keep trying. The latest to make something of a splash was Bill Buckley, who gave up editing his National Review for a few months while he ran for mayor of New York. He didn't run too well, and last week Bill Buckley went back to journalism with a bang.
