...went to work full-time for House & Home and rose to become managing editor before its sale in 1964. Next step was TIME, where he specializes in economic affairs. Outside the office, a major interest is the Blue Hill Troupe, which stages Gilbert & Sullivan operettas in the New York area. For Blue Hill, taxes pose no problems at all. As the troupe's constitution puts...
...skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory. Good luck, and let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking." Ike kept in his pocket another communique he had written in case of disaster: "Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold, and I have withdrawn the troops. If there is any blame or fault attached to the attempt, it is mine alone." As Eisenhower lay dying at Walter Reed, plans were nearly completed for the celebration on Normandy's beaches of the invasion...
...reinforce the warning, Soviet heavy bombers destroy China's nuclear-testing-and-development centers at Lop Nor and Lanchow. Stubbornly, Mao decides to fight on.

China is to be left to wither, stripped of its nuclear potential, shorn of its most important industrial...
Typical of the 60 group ministries formed so far is one conducted by two energetic young priests in the South Ormsby area. Rotating services among 15 parishes, they transport the faithful to and from worship in a secondhand minibus (which they bought from the proceeds of a rummage sale). They have organized a group choir and Sunday school, and publish a magazine called The Tennyson Chronicle (after the poet laureate, who was born in their district). Such activities would be impossible if the priests had only two or three active parishioners, instead of the 30 or more who now attend...
Lack of Access. The U.S. faces no shortage of timber. National forests alone occupy an area twice the size of California. Because of federal limitations on logging operations and poor forest management techniques, the Government's holdings yield only a quarter as much timber per acre as private timberland. The Agriculture Department has long complained that Congress allows it too little money to manage better, even though the sale of timber to private lumber producers nets the Treasury substantial revenue. A lack of access roads causes as much sawtimber to be lost to storms and insect infestation...
