Sidewalks are filled with bundle-laden shoppers, and store windows beckon with imported washers, steam irons, refrigerators and TV sets. Outside town, barefoot peasants pad along the dusty roads with $40 Sony transistor radios slung over their shoulders. "Prices are steep," admitted one merchant, "but that's what people are paying." New Experience. Prosperity is a new experience for Guatemala, which scraped along for years in the banana-republic image-without industry, unable to import what it wanted, or even pay for what it did buy.

...second-grade prints. Only a few things are obvious to the expert but hasty eye. The moon's "seas" do not seem to be covered with deep, fluffy dust, as many lunar experts have argued.

There may be a layer of soft material an inch or so thick, but Dr. Eugene Shoemaker of the U.S. Geological Survey, a former believer in deep moon dust, said that he would not hesitate to step on the moon's surface. He was not sure, however, how much weight...

It will be built in Mount Morris Park, explains Rodgers, because...
...that conclusion did very little concluding. Still stretching ahead was the steep, stone-stubbled campaign road to November. And in their anger and anguish at Goldwater's imminent nomination, Barry's Republican critics seized on battle cries that will echo hither and yon-and be picked up by the Democrats-throughout the coming campaign...
