...milling picket lines, the fire hoses, the club-wielding police were all reminiscent of the bloody strikes of the 1930s. When the International Union of Electrical Workers struck General Electric last week, the company vowed it would keep its plants open for all employees who wanted to work. Both sides knew the vow could lead to violence. It was not long in coming...
...back to college after an eleven-year absence was Nuclear Physicist Frank Oppenheimer. In 1949 Oppenheimer resigned from his position as an associate professor at the University of Minnesota just before testifying to a congressional committee that he had been a card-carrying Communist for three years in the 1930s but had quit the party in disillusionment. After that Frank Oppenheimer, now 47, younger brother of Physicist J.

Showpiece.

In May 1958, President Eisenhower invited them all to Washington to discuss a continuing joint policy for Antarctica. This, he argued, "could have the additional advantage of preventing unnecessary...
...Olympics. It had better be. Australia's swimmers should be nearly as strong as the crew that dominated the 1956 games in Melbourne (8 of 13 gold medals for men and women combined). And then there are the Japanese, who dominated Olympic men's swimming in the 1930s and are only now beginning to regain their prewar form with a crack team. In prospect is a glorious Roman water carnival...
