...claims the right to fly over the U.S.S.R., would it have to allow Soviet spy planes to fly over the U.S.? The Russians would have a strong case. The State Department seeks to deflect it by reminders that President Eisenhower has been working toward an internationally recognized right of overflight in his "Open Skies" plan offered at the 1955 summit conference in Geneva...
Along with the down-on-the-farm crudity came a threat aimed at the West's more vulnerable allies. Said Nikita: "The countries that have bases on their territories should note most carefully the following: if they allow others to fly from their bases to our territory, we shall hit at those bases." To drive his point home, Khrushchev summoned to his side Pakistani Ambassador to Moscow Salman Ali and warned him that Soviet defense forces "have drawn a ring around Peshawar "-where the U2's pilot Francis Powers allegedly began his flight-and were prepared, if necessary...
Sometimes, in his plain North Dakota way, Whelan had tried to persuade old Tacho to allow Nicaragua a little democracy, but then he would quickly agree with Tacho that Nicaraguans were politically too immature for much freedom.

After as little as one week, the femurs (leg bones) of young mice get rounder in cross section than normal femurs. Dr. Wunder believes that this change is an adaptation to strengthen the bone and allow it to support the abnormal weight of the high-G mouse. Chickens react in somewhat the same way: Dr. Alfred Smith of the University of California has found that when they are centrifuged, the anti-gravity muscles of their drumsticks grow to as much as seven times normal. But chickens are not so successful as mice at high-G reproduction. They try-but tend...
