...educator seconds Hero Holden Caulfield of The Catcher in the Rye, whose wry view of "Pencey Prep" echoes the language repeatedly used in advertising military academies. For military schools are widely scorned as something akin to reform schools with tuition-handy places for the rich or the divorced to dump incorrigible offspring. "Military schools are a symbol of the abdication of parental responsibility," scoffs one non-military headmaster...
...Brinkley's Journal got off to an unpromising start in its first program, presenting a splendid rendition of America the Beautiful on the audio while the video showed pictures of trash heaps, automobile graveyards, dump trucks dumping, and beer cans floating in the shining sea. Only a freshman in a high school journalism class would have considered it a towering achievement.

Only the Saturn booster was tested last week; the upper two stages of the rocket were dummies filled with water for ballast. Saturn is scheduled to make its first operational flight in 1964, will have enough power to orbit a ten-ton satellite around the earth or dump a four-ton load of instruments on the moon.

In the meantime, the U.S. hopes to start landing instruments...

But all the possible agenda items seemed to fade beside the loss of Dag Hammarskjold. Every delegate knew that the whole future of the U.N. as a meaningful force for peace...
...flee west. In front of the wall, Communist workers laid heavy new barriers to frustrate daredevil drivers who had discovered a new way to escape. Most talented of these was the 23-year-old worker who last week packed his wife into the front seat of a five-ton dump truck, got up speed along darkened side streets paralleling the frontier, then roared out at 40 m.p.h. to plow through the wall, scattering Vopos and broken concrete in all directions...
