Instead of soaring 200 miles out over the Atlantic as it was supposed to do, the Redstone roared a few inches into the air and then settled lumpishly back onto its launching pad. Adding to the absurdity of the scene was the wild behavior of the small "escape rocket" perched atop the Mercury capsule. The function of the escape rocket is to save the astronaut's life by blasting off in a hurry, taking the capsule with it, if the main rocket malfunctions. But this time the electronic signals got scrambled and the escape rocket blasted into the blue...
...seeking the company of other chickens, and if it is a young chicken, this sociability indicates that it was raised with other chickens around. These are the findings reported by University of Maine Psychologists Alan Baron and George B. Kish, who measured the effect of early isolation on chicken behavior. They hatched 30 chicks in a dark incubator. Ten chicks were then moved to individual cubicles, getting no chance to see one another.

But the author is not wholly a praiser of his own beat-romantic past. He admits to behavior so much worse than square that it is cubic, or even tesseractical. He confesses, for instance, to paying his way to Europe and rubbernecking around the Louvre. Rembrandt and Franz Hals, he reports, are great...
