...horn slashed into the chest of Antonio Bienvenida, 38, dean of Spain's matadors. Twice, with a savage spasm of his lacerated but still powerful neck muscles, the bull tossed Bienvenida into the air. It was mauling Bienvenida, helpless on the sand, when the peones dashed up to cape the bull away. Instantly, Bienvenida's father and brother called on a husky, hawknosed six-footer, still dark-haired despite his 67 years: Dr. Luis Giménez Guinea, one of the world's most specialized surgeons, since 1940 official doctor of the plaza de toros and head...
...miles southeastward from Florida last week, watchers aboard the Navy's salvage ship Escape spotted a white object as it hurtled out of the sky and plunged into the Atlantic. It was the nose cone of a Jupiter IRBM, launched only minutes earlier from a pad at the Cape Canaveral missile test center. Hoisted aboard Escape, the recovered cone proved that the Army had solved both the reentry problem and the accuracy problem.

...company is also building in other coastal areas-Fort Pierce, Pompano Beach and Vero Beach-and it is planning homesites for land that it owns near Cape Canaveral.

...With earth satellites already relegated to the category of "accomplished," Army and Air Force are racing to be first to try the next logical step into space: a shot at the moon. By later summer the Army will fire from Cape Canaveral a Jupiter-C or hopped-up Jupiter that Army Spaceman Wernher von Braun believes will hit the moon. Less optimistic Army missileers expect their missile will either graze the moon-and message back valuable readings on gases around it-or make a lunar orbit. But the Air Force will probably be able to try an orbiting moonshot first...
...chorus. Actress Montealegre gave her reading with luminous conviction and a fine sense of tandem with the score. Both got an ovation before they hustled off to a party to celebrate the Philharmonic's departure on a seven-week Latin American tour. For Felicia Montealegre, wearing a cape and Gothic-style gown by Valentina, the most pointed appreciation came from her 2½-year-old when he spied her in costume: "Ah,'' he cried, "Superman...
