...these particles-mostly protons and electrons-approach the earth, most are caught in its magnetic field or absorbed by its atmosphere. They cause long-distance communications blackouts and set off vivid displays of northern lights, but they do no harm to humans. The moon, however, has no atmosphere or magnetic field to stop the particles; they reach its surface at velocities great enough for -the heavier protons to penetrate space suits and the thin walls of a Lunar Excursion Module (LEM). Caught on the surface of the moon, astronauts might receive a fatal dose of proton radiation before they could...
...hardly wait for episode No. 2 of "The Nature of Sexual Response." The response of the red-blooded male should make for even more vivid reading than that of the woman.

This growing struggle for savings is the most vivid result to date of the Federal Reserve Board's month-old boost in the discount rate and its simultaneous increase (from 4½% to 5½%) in the maximum interest that banks may pay on time deposits of 30 days or more. Some of the combatants seem distinctly unhappy...
