Exhorting labor to rid itself of antiCommunism, Hall picked as a special target the international affairs department of the A.F.L.-C.I.O.-whose militantly anti-Red policies were shaped by Jay Lovestone, 67, an almost-forgotten ideological dissident who in 1929 was purged as the national secretary of the U.S. Communist Party by Stalin, for a decade thereafter ran his own splinter faction, the Lovestonites, and in 1940 turned bitterly anti-Red. In Hall's romantic view, Old Comrade Lovestone's present operation is "an arm of the CIA involved in trying to get governments overthrown...

Rather than cut and run, it decided to stay and grow along with a yearning market. During the terrifying upheavals in the Congo, Unilever men opened new plantations even while existing ones were being overrun by the Simbas. The company also opened up more...
...still pictures shot through a Gemini window with a hand-held Hasselblad 70-mm. camera showed the rendezvous with the target satellite that Stafford had dubbed the "angry alligator." There was such clarity of detail that NASA experts used the pictures to confirm the reason why the ATDA had failed to shed its heat shroud. The ATDA ground crew had not connected four lanyards that would have assured proper jettisoning. Certain that the lanyards were merely leads for ground-test instruments, the crew had taped them uselessly to the side of the shroud...
