Three Hits. Why should tektites and impactites have the same ages? One explanation, think Fleischer and Price, is that when very large meteors hit the moon they do more than splash out molten moon-rock that falls to earth as small, harmless tektites. They also detach large chunks of the lunar crust heavy enough to blast craters and form impactite when they hit the earth's surface. This has happened, the scientists think, at least three times in rather recent geological history. And they suspect that a lot of moon-stuff will be found on earth as soon...
...night, while most of Longarone's inhabitants slept or watched a soccer game on television, a huge chunk of a nearby mountain called Toe broke loose and fell 650 ft. into the 873-ft.-high Vaiont Dam, 2½ miles from the town. The splash sent a 300-ft.-high tidal wave across the reservoir. Spilling over the lip, the avalanche of water cascaded into a gorge leading to the nearby Piave River. It churned up tons of rock and mud, and hit Longarone. Then the flood bounced off a mountainside, turned around, hit Longarone again, and continued down...
Cleve McDowell was the second Ne gro, after James Meredith, to be admit ted to the University of Mississippi.

Mainbocher is the master of the throwaway: a little tweed jacket that suddenly turns out to be lined with sable, a simple something buttoned up to the neck that unbuttons-if you just happen to feel like it-to reveal a splash of Schlumberger or Verdura in emeralds and diamonds. He was making the sleeveless sheath long before Jackie Kennedy made it a clich...
...Saigon-based press corps is so confident of its own convictions that any other version of the Viet Nam story is quickly dismissed as the fancy of a bemused observer. Many of the correspondents seem reluctant to give splash treatment to anything that smacks of military victory in the ugly war against the Communists, since this would take the sheen off the theory that the infection of the Buddhist troubles in Saigon is demoralizing the government troops, and weakens the argument that defeat is inevitable so long as Diem is in power. When there is a defeat, the color...
