...progress made so far has been laughably small compared to what remains to be done. Few of the suburbs have been integrated, and none of those that offer the best housing and schols. Dean Rusk's neighbors in suburban Spring Valley had to sign restrictive covenants forbidding the sale of their houses to Negroes or Jews. (Rusk made a special agreement which excepted him from signing the covenant.) Even the more attractive sections of Washington proper still exclude Negroes, although the number of discriminatory areas in the city is small...
...copybook. Some people likened him to a direction-post, wnich is always telling the way to a place, and never goes there . . . His very throat was moral. You saw a good deal of it. You looked over a very low fence of white cravat . . . and there it lay, a valley between two jutting heights of collar, serene and whiskerless before you. His person was sleek though free from corpulency...
During his week, Goldwater unnecessarily got himself into some steamy political water. Often in the past, he had advocated that the Tennessee Valley Authority be turned over to private enterprise. Now he answered a needling letter from Tennessee's Democratic Representative Richard Fulton, who asked the Senator if published reports that he still favored that proposition were true.

Tennessee Republicans, who have high hopes of carrying their state for Goldwater next year, blanched in dismay. Wailed...

As the Algerian troops inched forward across the windswept, desolate battlefield, it appeared to one Bible-versed correspondent that men were "as trees walking."* The Algerians had no radios; orders were simply shouted back and forth, echoing clearly across the valley to the Moroccans. "Hey, Mohammed, give them a blast with the 75 recoilless rifle. That's right. No, a bit further to the left." The Moroccans sent up tanks to the front lines, flew over U.S.-made T-6 jet trainers equipped with rockets, but foxholes and boulders gave...
...site of the proposed station was Cook Flat, a bowl-shaped valley in the Davis Mountains of west Texas. This location is roughly 200 miles from the nearest large city, El Paso, and thus relatively free from television and radio broadcasts which might blot out solar signals. Although some man-made radiation does reach Cook Flat, the hills which rise 1500 feet above the valley's floor reduce this interference by a factor of over 100. Eight miles from Cook Flat is the town of Fort Davis (population 600), where the Harvard station has set up offices and dark-rooms...
