...they say, has experience in the executive branch. He has participated in its decisions. He has shared in its responsibilities. He has been educated in its programs. When it comes to agriculture, I can only say that disaster has been his experience and Benson has been his teacher." The basic rule of Kennedy's farm-vote strategy, it seemed clear, was going to be: keep Benson on Nixon's back...
...that the departure of a few hundred technicians heralded a break between Russia and China comparable to that between Stalin's Russia and Tito's Yugoslavia in 1948. But last week, months after Nikita Khrushchev's first open split with Red China's leaders over basic Communist dogma, the battle was getting hotter-and the relationship colder-than ever. Moscow's Izvestia, scarcely veiling its Red Chinese target, railed against "leftists" and "phrase-mongers" who "assemble and sometimes distort quotations to repeat over and over again that imperialist wars are inevitable," adding that only "fools...
...rocket-borne commercial space traveler of the future, the tab will be considerably higher-but still astonishingly low. In a detailed cost analysis presented to last week's international space symposium in Stockholm, three Douglas Aircraft Co. engineers estimated that a scant $500 should one day cover basic costs of one passenger's round-trip transportation, by nuclear spaceship, to the moon.

Comic Sahl, the only warrior shown who looks grubby enough to be a real G.I., very nearly saves the show with one line. He cheers his mates up with a few jokes during a lull in the battle...
...good for the state's emotional health because it gives the people confidence in their ability to do big things. And the medical center is big indeed. A single, two-wing building, the state's largest, houses in one end the classrooms and laboratories for teaching the basic medical sciences in four schools: medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and nursing. With the four schools under one roof, students mingle, learn each other's problems and viewpoints from sharing many of the same lab facilities and teachers. In the Teaching Hospital wing, where Mrs. Lawson was admitted, are beds...
