...only publication in Poland that seems immune to party lockjaw is a twelve-page satirical weekly with the apt name of Szpilki (Needles). Garishly printed on cheap paper, cocky, 24-year-old Szpilki (pronounced "shpeelky") sticks its needles into Communist hides from Moscow to Warsaw. In a cartoon deriding the cultural isolation of Leon Kruczkowski and other hacks on the party's Trybuna Literacka (Literary Tribune), Szpilki this month depicted three self-pitying wallflowers on a vast, empty dance floor.

In 1957 alone, industry sent an estimated 300,000 executives back to school...
...just as much from the beach as they can inside the base. If we could have them inside, we could give them the straight dope on just how the firing went, and stop them guessing. Their guesses are pretty wild sometimes, and what comes out in the papers is apt to be more damaging to security than the truth. A LIFE photographer [Stan Wayman] awhile back zeroed in so close on an Atlas you could almost see the rivets on it. If we had photographers on the base, they could develop their film right here and submit it for clearance...
