...member of a select group of activists, unified in the face of adversity. There is a pride in being a "professional and not just a dabbler"--a professional because of the sacrifices one must make to become a member. And, as in any club, there are fringe travel benefits which go along with membership. The Communist is received in style in Cuba, Guatemala (in the hills), France, Italy, Russia, and China, to mention a few. Furthermore, there are those pretty girls and after Party parties...
Widespread fear of dismissal exists among University of California faculty members who are publicly proclaimed liberals or dissenters. As many as six non-tenured professors may have already been let go, although there is apparent confusion about this, even among fellow faculty members. Faculty travel funds have been recently interfered with, if not frozen, keeping representatives of the University of California from attending the recent national College Art Association meetings, unless they paid their own way. A segment of one campus newspaper has been suspended for publishing a nude by the early twentieth century German artist George Grosez, a drawing...
What bothers most such critics is the cost of making spaceships and space travel suitable for man. Unmanned probes, so the argument runs, would learn far more at much lower expense. Says Caltech's Astrophysicist Jesse Greenstein: "The manned-space program is mainly engineering, concerned with keeping people alive in curious circumstances.

In fact, the Russians picked up the bill for his entire stay. But Kazan, a former Czech who had emigrated to the U.S. in 1955 and become a citizen, discovered that Communist hospitality can still be highly uneven. Returning to the U.S. via Paris, Kazan's Soviet Aeroflot jetliner made an unscheduled stop in Prague for what Czech authorities said was a "radar breakdown." When...
...Beirut Phoenicia will forget the experience. Maids burst into occupied guest rooms to plug in vacuums to clean the halls. Water pipes sprang torrential leaks, turning lobby light fixtures into overhead fountains and drenching clothes stowed in bedrooms. Such difficulties were overcome, and Pan Am flew in 900 travel agents from all over Western Europe and the U.S. for a free look at the Phoenicia. Soon their clients filled it close to capacity, and it is now a gem of the chain. "We are a catalyst for economic growth and trade," says Gates. Case in point: after the Karachi Intercontinental...
