...Russians are making a big push in defensive ground-to-air missiles; most Soviet industrial and nuclear sites are well protected, but (like everyone else) the Russians are troubled by a defense gap against low level attacks, and their missiles cannot yet reach above 60,000 ft., where the U-2 normally flew...
...dance team have been observed kicking out of step, and consequently must be spies. But where is Gaillardia? No one has ever heard of the place. The problem is bucked to Carlton-Browne of Miscellaneous Territories, a timeserver whose troutlike face mirrors his intelligence.

The gap is being narrowed by expansion of existing schools, and half a dozen entirely new schools are in the building or planning stages. But the remaining shortage is equal to the capacity of 20 more schools - which as yet are not even a gleam in the eye of medical educators...
