...from Gone With the Wind. And the old massa who lives there fits the movie title too: Nikita Khrushchev, still hale at 70 but "retired" to his rent-free government dacha outside Moscow on a pension of $330 a month. After weeks of conscientious sleuthing, U.P.I.'s Henry Shapiro reported other details. Wife Nina gets another $132, and a five-man staff and limousine are thrown in, courtesy of the current Soviet management, but Khrushchev rarely uses the car to go to the Moscow apartment reserved for his use. Shunning all but his closest friends and family, he spends...
...light: 1) it deflects it to one side, 2) it changes its frequency, and 3) it slows it down. All these effects are slight, and although the first two have been detected already, the third was until recently beyond the range of observation. But now Dr. Irwin I. Shapiro of M.l.T.'s Lincoln Laboratory proposes to check on Einstein by using the solar system itself as his laboratory...
With the new Haystack antenna that can project a narrow beam of 8,000-megacycle, 1.5-inch microwaves that behave just like light. Dr. Shapiro plans to follow the planet Venus around its orbit, accurately measuring the time that the microwaves take to reach their target and bounce back. While Venus is well away from the sun, that time can be translated into the planet's calculated distance on its well-known orbit. But as Venus begins to swing behind the sun, the microwaves will pass through the strongest part of the sun's gravitational field. If Einstein...

Significantly, those who rioted were primarily youths, and they cared little for their community's leaders. They booed Bayard Rustin as he tried to pull them off the streets; they did the same to James Farmer as he belatedly asked for responsibility...
