...Russians countered with a ground checkup system -which Eisenhower accepted in principle-but the idea fell through when Moscow would allow only three token look-sees a year. Today there is still no formal inspection procedure, although satellite surveillance and seismic detection devices have made it easier to keep track of nuclear installations and large detonations worldwide...
Perhaps the jolliest benefit of being really rich is that we can do little things in a big way like the Detroit race-track owner who gave sports cars as favors to a dozen dinner guests. We all have our pet charities, and some of us even have crusades for example, H. L. Hunt, the Texas oil billionaire, spends millions on propaganda against assorted people whom he regards as Red subversives. Then in Britain, there's Sir Cyril Black, the rich Tory MP, who is dedicated to protecting the "moral" working class from dirty books. As he sees...
...over a Philadelphia high school stadium at an altitude of 1,000 ft. A conventional radar altimeter would have indicated only the slope of the stadium; the laser picked out each row of seats, the one-foot space between each row, and even the slight depression of the running track at ground level.

And after dinner, the whole family gathers...
...coming weeks. The North Vietnamese are showing some signs of removing the mask of intransigence that they have worn since the talks began at Paris' Majestic Hotel seven weeks ago. Unbending a bit, Thuy and his aides even took in the horse races at the fashionable Auteuil track in the Bois de Boulogne. They are also spending more and more time talking about real problems and gradually letting the demand for a bombing halt fade into the background. The U.S., on the other hand, is trying to demonstrate flexibility; it told the North Vietnamese last week that if they...
