At times she treats helpless sinners with art unexpected gentleness that betrays the author's love for our race, despite its flaws...
...photographers were Venera (for Venus) 13 and 14, the latest in a series of Soviet robot envoys to the earth's nearest planetary neighbor. Venera 13 lasted two hours and seven minutes on the Venusian griddle, while its twin worked about half as long.

The day he was charged King suspended him without pay. The day he was convicted, King called the whole affair "unfortunate." The public now scorns, cars, parodying the "Make it in Massachusetts" bumper stickers...
...subscribes to Partisan Review could probably hold a reasonably intimate dinner party these days. Monthly Review its fraternal twin, also stands in no danger of wielding influence. On this campus, only the Spartacus Youth League, that lunatic asterisk to every generalization, " defends" the USSR, and when the crackdown began in Warsaw, it was the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee that threw together a protest meeting, not the Conservative Club When one counts prominent American leftists--not a very time-consuming task--next to none come to mind who urge "communism" and most.
