Snow fell in Reno on the last day of May, and the Indianapolis auto race was delayed by rain for the first time in 52 years. Across the mainland, temperatures ran as much as 9° below normal and, on many days, Fairbanks, Alaska, boasted warmer temperatures than Manhattan.

Molniya was cluttered with so many unlabeled antennas and sensor systems that scientists figured that the satellite was also capable of serving a "spy in the sky" function over...
...declares, whose idea of fun is walking barefoot in the park in 17° weather. "Your laundry arrived," she simpers. "They stuffed your shirts beautifully." But if the couple's happiness seems as short as their tempers, their misery is just as temporary. By the final reel they are neck and neck in a race for the bed, and even Natwick and Boyer have found something in common-stomach trouble...
