...careful observer leaving that smoky room, it might have seemed not wholly unlike an Atlantic crosssing in late August, when one embarks at Naples with the sun high overhead and flooding the streets, only to land in Boston where the autumn already is casting long shadows. I left the hotel through an exit marked "Not an accredited egress door," and descended into dingy Arlington station...
...there are some kinds of underground and small atmospheric explosions that even this elaborate network cannot detect with certainty. Last autumn, observation posts in Sweden and France confused a small Russian test blast with the Soviets' long-awaited 58-megaton shot simply because it took place simultaneously with an earthquake in California. Recent underground tests in Nevada confirmed that earthquake confusion is possible unless seismographs are within a few hundred miles of the site. Hence the Krishna Menon plan presented at Geneva urging monitors in neutral nations near Russia would change nothing. To be above suspicion, any nuclear power...

Increasingly, he is content with sententious verse written with the negligent, remembered skill of a master craftsman. The old man is fascinated by the adventuring spirit of man. Many of his poems are half wisdom and half whimsy, and Frost...
...Somebody's Waiting, Milton Berle as a blackjack dealer in Doyle Against the House, Jack Carson as a beatnik in Who Killed Julie Greer? Under the subtle direction of Ralph Nelson, Four Star's Three Soldiers (about mercenaries) was one of the outstanding dramatic productions of the autumn, recalling the somewhat golden days of TV's great dramatic shows...
