...NATO's new Paris headquarters last week, the glow of cheer was nearly as bright as the premature spring sunshine that caressed strollers on the Champs Elysées. For one thing, France-Soir, biggest of Paris dailies, reported that Charles de Gaulle had instructed his top brass: "You make arrangements with the Atlantic organization for air and naval cooperation. I personally will settle with Eisenhower the problems of stocking U.S. atomic bombs in France." For more than a year, De Gaulle's open hostility to the NATO concept of integrated Western defense had given the alliance...
...mobilized and armed with statements." Then Jack finally decided to take a vacation in Hawaii and Hong Kong-but for some reason, he went by way of Florida. Somehow, he happened to land in West Palm Beach, a quick Cadillac ride from Boca Raton, where NBC brass happened to be attending a meeting with network affiliates.

Each evening, busloads of pretty Okinawan hostesses pull up to the blue-and-white-striped awning before the Kadena Airmen's Club (for airmen up to corporal's rank), and the gaily chattering girls-each...
Weekly Improvement. The strike began last November when 54 Oregonian and Journal stereotypers walked off their jobs in protest against the Oregonian's plans to buy a highly automated German plate-casting machine. When other printing craftsmen followed, Oregonian and Journal brass joined forces, moved into the Oregonian's mechanical department, began putting out a pied, but still readable, combined edition of the Oregonian-Oregon Journal (TIME, Nov. 23). A call for mechanical help went out to nonunion papers throughout the U.S., and the jointly published paper soon was limping along with 72 experienced hands recruited from...
