...jeopardized by the existence of eleven Communist-controlled unions within the C.I.O. Goldberg directed the meticulous, scrupulously legal C.I.O. trials that ended with the banishment of all eleven. In 1949 he devised the pension and insurance plans for the Steelworkers that were finally accepted by industry in a labor breakthrough that was followed up by the U.A.W. and other mass-production unions. "This really transformed American life." Goldberg says unabashedly. "In all this, I take great personal satisfaction...
...title was a teaser: "A New Face Without Surgery." Then, in six pages of text and startling pictures, Look magazine (circ. 6,700,000) described "Chemerasure," a new breakthrough in the beauty business. "The treatment." reported Look in its Aug. 29 issue, "is the latest advance in substituting a chemical for the surgeon's knife." The article was directed at "the thousands of women who spend millions of dollars each year hopefully trying to regain the facial appearance of their more youthful days." For $1,000 they could have a two-week stay at the Budkon Center in Westport...

Conceivably, the Russians may have made a major technological breakthrough on some new nuclear device that is so important that testing outweighs all other factors; some American scientists feel that with luck, hard work and unlimited testing, the U.S. could develop within five years the first crude version of a neutron bomb, which would kill by neutrons but leave buildings more or less unharmed. Khrushchev recently warned U.S.'s John McCloy, President Kennedy's adviser on disarmament, that the Russians were working on the neutron-bomb idea themselves...
...into a major free-world producer of tungsten. Now K. C. Jr., a Swarthmore graduate who flew with General Chennault's Fourteenth Air Force, is out to enhance his company's reputation by intensifying research into atom-age metals. The new emphasis has already produced an important breakthrough in fabrication of superconductors i.e., metals which when chilled to absolute zero lose their resistance to electricity. Wah Chang labs are now making colum-bium-zirconium alloy wire that scientists believe can be used to utilize the energy released by controlled nuclear fission...
