...Proving that the U.S.S.R. has many a missile woe of its own, U.S. intelligence reported that the Soviets failed in two attempts to launch key missiles during their recent test series (in which they also successfully lobbed a pair of ICBMs onto a bull's-eye in the mid-Pacific). U.S. monitors in the Middle East picked up the countdowns between Jan. 15 and Feb. 1, but could not tell whether the two birds blew up or the tests failed for other causes...
...high-ceilinged office in the Elysée Palace early last week, a pair of elderly men who have been friends since their military student days at St. Cyr 50 years ago dispassionately discussed their opposing views on Algeria. Sympathetically, brisk, beefy Alphonse Juin, the only living marshal of France, told Charles de Gaulle that he looked tired. Answered De Gaulle: "I am old. Death waits for me, I know."

...difficult that eye practitioners do not attempt it themselves, leave it to specially equipped laboratories. These labs do not sell directly to the public, so they remain unknown, though Chicago's Plastic Contact Lens Co., the giant in the field, has made more than 4,000,000 pairs in ten years.

The movie takes the sordid case as an occasion for social satire, as a chance to say, often in a deftly indirect and wickedly amusing way, that the "economic miracle" is a moral disaster...
...getting the puck to the offensive zone against Dartmouth is less than half the battle, for the Big Green has the finest defense pair in the Ivy League in Rusty Ingersoll and Ryan Ostebo. Goalie Tom Wahman may be not only the best in the East, but is such a talented hockey player that he was used last season as a first-line forward. Without plump Dirk Frankenberg to mind the nets this year, coach Eddie Jeremiah has moved the junior back to goal...
