...Jostling one another and munching sausages in the penny standing room of the pit were the groundlings and "stinkards," men who had unfurled canvas with Drake, but could not read or write. From next door at the Paris Garden came the snarls of mastiffs as they leaped at the throat of Harry Hunks, a chained bear that snapped at them with his sawed-down teeth and clawed some into bloody silence. This was the competition for Romeo and Juliet. No one sensed the paradox of beauty and the bestial more keenly than Shakespeare...
...tableau of suburban housewife-in-action came right at home while Jesse Birnbaum was writing the cover story. Wife Beth was waiting for admission to a Manhattan hospital for a minor operation. In the last hours before she took to a hospital bed, while running a fever from a throat infection, she went through a schedule that would have exhausted a Pilgrim's wife.

A dissenting opinion came from Brigadier General Don Flickinger, Air Force chief of bioastronautics. Flickinger taught that the 10,000-lb. spaceship might be capable of carrying a two-man crew, but he did not believe it was actually carrying a living man. The Russians, he said, have become quite sensitive about being called...
