...dashed off the drawings. Believing that "the Creator created paper for making architectural drawings," Aalto refuses to open mail, replies only to telegrams. Accepting a commission to act as a consultant to Helsinki's city planning commission, he insisted on a clause that the city fathers would not badger him with too many conferences. As an artist-architect, he controls the design to the smallest detail. As a man, he stays in tiptop shape, swimming in the icy Finnish lakes in summer, going cross-country on skis during the winter...
...Jersey Congressman, Zagri spoke like a crusader on a trailer-truck parking lot: "Get a delegation down here tomorrow morning and tear his door down." He provided his agents with sample form letters to send in, urged wires, calls and protest meetings, brought non-Teamster unionists to Washington to badger Congressmen, and did most of the talking...
...number to that of the U.S. Strategic Air Command-consists of about 1,500 jets and turboprops. Most of this force is shortrange, but the U.S.S.R. has developed inflight refueling techniques that provide enough range to make round-trip missions to the U.S. And though their Bison and Badger bombers are inferior to the U.S.'s B-47s and B-52s (and Russian airplane maintenance and crew-training are low grade), the criterion of a good bomber is not how well it stacks up against the other fellow's in design or in direct combat, but whether...

Though the chief executive of each territory was to be a Paris-appointed premier, responsible for defense and foreign relations...
...growth. Now, as TIME'S Florida correspondent, Shelton was well-primed to provide background and play-by-play action that ended last week with the glow of a new star in the skies. While Shelton covered the Cape launching of Explorer, Washington Correspondents Ed Rees and Sherwin Badger sweated out the rocket shoot with Pentagon brass, and Atlanta Correspondent Lee Griggs went to the Army's Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala., to report Huntsville's big stake in the firing. For a narrative account of the history-making night, see the first four pages of NATIONAL AFFAIRS...
