...ROGUES (NBC, 10-11 p.m.). Marcel (Charles Boyer) goes to Paris to investigate the death of a friend, finds himself being stalked in "Pigeons of Paris...

Boyer explained that merely building the underpasses, at an estimated cost of $7 million, would only serve to speed traffic at the three intersections involved.

Last week it was given no cooling at all, and the controls that kept its reaction in check were arranged so they could be removed in a fraction of a second. Test Director Keith Boyer hoped that Kiwi would get hot enough to vaporize itself entirely...

What Kiwi's flaming death proved was that if nuclear rockets are ever used in space, they will not need explosive charges to break them up after they are spent. They can be turned into small and relatively harmless particles by a signal commanding them to commit suicide...
