Occasionally Dr. Bach had to step in and trigger the conversation. "John," he said to the gas-station manager, "you're not retreating into that phony shell of yours again, are you?" "I've said it all," John complained. "I told you I've had no real education. The doctors here have more important things to say." The industrial designer demurred: "What do they really know? You've given us more of your real feelings already than this psychiatrist. Take away his fancy vocabulary, and what have you left?" The actress chimed in: "Doctor, I feel...
Blood on the Trigger. No one had an accurate count of the casualties. Caamaño claimed 67 dead, close to 200 wounded. That might be an exaggeration, but the casualties were obviously heavy. In the rebel zone, TIME Correspondent Mo Garcia reported a sad, ugly scene. In Padre Billini Hospital, four dead rebels lay along a hallway; another seven were stacked in a small room.

...Mickey Mouse. White also spent some twelve hours rehearsing with Y "handheld self-maneuvering unit"-the gadget that was to help him walk around in space.

Under its terms, federal registrars (or "examiners," as the bill calls them) will be empowered to suspend literacy tests and register voters without them in states and counties where 1) such tests were used as a voting qualification as of last Nov. 1, and 2) less than 50% of the voting-age population were registered to vote or actually cast ballots in the 1964 presidential election. The device will automatically send federal examiners into Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and a number of counties in other...
...enough for the cops to find a translator to call U.S. officials. To avoid accidents, however, avoid night driving. Roads are full of unlighted oxcarts and parked trucks with snoozing drivers. If he bumbles into forbidden areas at night, a tourist may find his car and himself ventilated by trigger-happy guards. Equally dangerous: trading black-market dollars or defacing Tito's ubiquitous pictures...
