...Fallout. Russia and Red China predictably accused the U.S. of committing a crime against mankind, but international reaction to the blast was generally calm. U.S. assurances that the explosion would not create hazardous fallout or do any kind of permanent damage seemed to have allayed most fears. Most of the scientists who had opposed the test on the ground that it might do long-lasting damage to the earth's upper atmosphere and the Van Allen radiation belt were reserving judgment. Scientists in New Zealand, the country most affected by the blast, treated it as an interesting scientific experiment...
...strange case of Robert Stroud has been fashioned into an absorbing film that is deceptively calm and emotionally powerful. Burt Lancaster plays the bird man with a firm restraint that never conceals a deep-felt conviction that Stroud should not be in stir at all.

The pattern of these houses is English; No. 20 Louisburg Square was used for the filming of Thackeray's Vanity Fair...
Just when Kennedy was trying to calm the business community,* Solicitor General Archibald Cox betook himself back to Harvard for a speech calculated to make any businessman blanch with dismay. His message: a way must be found to bring Government into wage-and-price-making decisions on a regular basis and at ''a fairly early stage" in the process. It may be enough for now that the Government "make known, widely and forcefully, the general policies that it thinks would advance the public interest." said Cox, but "there are a number of reasons for thinking that...
