...with a black beard (when last seen), Goldreich won South Africa's 1955 Best Young Painter award for his Figures in Black and White, designed sets and costumes for King Kong, the famed South African musical. To Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd's regime, he was a key suspect in the clandestine operations of the anti-apartheid underground. Last month police descended on the artist's swank home in the Johannesburg suburb of Rivonia, arrested Goldreich, his wife Hazel, four other white men, and a dozen nonwhites...
Goldreich was jailed under a recent law by which police can hold a suspect for 90 days without charge. (When the 90-day term comes to an end, some prisoners are being dutifully released, allowed to walk 100 yards, then rearrested for another three-month stretch.) A month after his arrest, Goldreich apparently got hold of cell-block keys, possibly with inside help, and freed three fellow prisoners-two anti-apartheid Asians, and a Jewish lawyer, Harold Wolpe, longtime defender of imprisoned leftists...

But in recent years, and particularly since the Profumo-Keeler-Ward scandals, Britons have come to suspect that their police are not only markedly less proficient at keeping the Queen's Peace than of old, but may also have become less scrupulous in upholding the traditionally high standards of British justice...
From the first few months of the voluntary plan, its value was clear, and now an act of the General Court of Massachusetts has made testing mandatory. Only a year ago, the frequency of PKU was estimated at one in every 20,000 births. Then authorities began to suspect it might be twice as high. But among the first 40,000 babies tested in Massachusetts, eight cases were detected-an incidence of one in 5,000 births. For the whole U.S., that would be 800 PKU babies a year...
...jolt them with another discovery. As he passed over South America, Cooper caught a glimpse of a thin, barely visible rust-colored layer roughly 70 miles higher than the green stratum he had been searching for. His sighting confirmed an earlier report by Astronaut Wally Schirra, and scientists now suspect the green veil may be topped by a red one made up of photochemically stimulated atomic oxygen...
