...Pineville, Kenny fell in love with football. His father scraped together $5 to help buy his football uniform, Pineville High being a poor school with little money to spend on athletics. For a month Kenny practiced hard, trying to make the team; he was wiry and quick but light (130 lbs., 5 ft. 10 in.). One October day when he showed up for practice, Kenny opened his locker and found that his football suit was gone-stolen. He gathered up his books, went home and told his mother: "I'll never go another day of school...

Last week, before a Senate foreign relations subcommittee, Bill Benton got another chance to make his pitch.

...retired general (Tom Powers) and a dimwit radio operator (Dick Wesson)-float weirdly around the inside of the rocket until they put on magnetized boots. Then they can walk on the walls. When a radar antenna jams, they go out on the hull in pressurized monkey suits to make repairs while traveling at seven miles a second. The scientist slips off into space, and his traveling companions stage a fantastic rescue that dramatizes the strange laws of spatial physics. Later, the explorers bound in seven-league strides along the cracked, cratered moonscape where gravity is only one-sixth of what...
