...better school and a municipal water system. What they also got, as soon as their aldermen began to exercise their new powers, was a part-time city marshal. And as soon as he pinned on his star, the marshal began to enforce a 3O-m.p.h. speed limit. From hot-rodding teen-agers to throttle-tromp-ing adults, Buffalo Gap was outraged. The marshal got no cooperation; he could not make his summonses stick in court. And since his only salary consisted of a percentage of the fines he collected, he soon quit in disgust...
...fields which gradually speed up protons and other charged particles moving between the stars of the Milky Way galaxy (the earth itself is a smallish satellite to one of the smaller stars in this galaxy). But this theory could not account for rays whose energy is above a critical limit. The galaxy's overall magnetic field can make fairly powerful rays curve enough to stay inside it, but if the rays acquire more than about 1018 (11billion billion) electron volts, the galactic field cannot hold them. Such rays will shoot off and be lost in intergalactic space. So cosmic...
...microphones, watched by perhaps more than the estimated 45 million who viewed the conventions on TV, might decide the November outcome.

There beside him stood Atlanta's grey-thatched Mayor William B. Hartsfield. Democratic to the core but proclaiming the need for a Southern two-party system because "we want to be part of the main stream of American life." Following the mayor came Georgia Democrat James V. Carmichael, who once...
...pose as the protectors of African freedom, many African nations themselves were increasingly weary of Lumumba's troublemaking. Liberia's President William Tubman con fessed he was "perplexed and frustrated" by Lumumba's attitude. Tunisia's President Habib Bourguiba declared that "there is a limit to how far Tunisia will go along with the Congo," and gave his support to Hammarskjold...
