...admit that the Soviet Union, producing less than half the U.S. output, was failing to catch up. But though declaring Malenkov's figure a lie (since it made his own seem less impressive), Khrushchev was almost certainly fudging his own figures. Western specialists, piecing together other evidence, suspect that Khrushchev has inflated current grain production so that party critics could not protest that his 153-million-ton goal for 1965 is "unrealistic...
...cloistered nuns from the Convent of the Little Sisters of the Friendless are the only witnesses who can back up the murder suspect's alibi. But they cannot leave their convent to come to court; their vows forbid it. What is more, their reverend mother cannot even ask the mother general in Paris for special permission; the reverend mother has forgotten her French. And unless someone can get the nuns out of the cloister, the monosyllabic police lieutenant is prepared to see the suspect strapped into the electric chair. Enter Private Detective Peter Gunn...
...first Discoverer, missilemen suspect, will do no more than report the cloud cover of the earth. Later versions may eventually take pictures with real cameras. If the satellite is recovered intact, the films can be developed on earth. Another possible trick would be to have the pictures developed automatically on board the-satellite and sent to earth by facsimile radio. A good telescopic camera orbiting several hundred miles up might photograph objects as small as Russian military bases...
...chasse d'un tigre," Maigret mutters grimly as the murderer's score mounts. When the tiger has made his fourth kill, Maigret sets a trap. He invents a suspect, credits him with the crimes, counts on the killer (whose vanity has been demonstrated in his challenge to the police) to protest his guilt by attempting a fresh murder-which 500 plainclothesmen stand ready to prevent. The trap springs, but the tiger escapes, and Maigret is forced to track him through some pretty tortuous back alleys of psychology-the sort of area a camera can easily get lost...
...well as history, and no amount of research can help him in his fiction. His hero, Ari Ben Canaan, has all the two-dimensional subtlety of a sheriff in a TV western; his heroine, Gentile Kitty Fremont, is so often petty-minded and petulant that some readers may suspect Author Uris of a bias against shiksas. Despite its partisan trimmings, Exodus in large measure tells how the Israelis won their homeland. The tepid love story of Ari and Kitty can be skipped...
