...influx of Red Chinese diplomatic staffs summoned back to Peking from their posts around the world continued, bringing the total to an estimated 200 diplomats from some 30 missions. Some will no doubt be purged; the survivors, Japanese analysts suspect, may have a significant say in Chinese foreign policy after the purge is over. That there is hardly anyone minding the diplomatic store abroad for China in the meantime does not much matter; torn asunder by strife at home, Peking has little it can-or wants to-say to the outside world...
...attributed to the smog by Dr. Leonard Greenburg, then New York's commissioner of air pollution.

I suspect some profit minded editor at Atlantic-Little Brown urged O'Connor to thread them through All in the Family as a guarantee of high sales...
...protect them against enemies and intruders after death, Egypt's pharaohs were entombed with their treasures in cleverly concealed chambers deep with in their monumental pyramids. Most of these royal burial vaults have long since been discovered and looted, but some archaeologists suspect that others still lie undisturbed behind tons of lime stone and granite blocks. Egypt's pyramids may soon yield their remaining secrets. In a speech before the American Physical Society last week, University of California Physicist Luis Alvarez reported that his ingeniously conceived project to peer into the pyramids with cosmic rays is about...
