...good. But a young British medical researcher at the University of Cape Town, Dr. Brian Bronte-Stewart, kept asking himself: "What about the Eskimos?" Although they eat lots of animal fat, such as seal oil, they have one of the world's lowest coronary disease rates. Dr. Bronte-Stewart was carrying on diet experiments with the Bantu; there were no Eskimos handy for him to test in South Africa. But there were seals around the South African coast, so why not feed the Eskimo staple-seal oil-to the Bantu? Bronte-Stewart tried it, and found that...
...success of Breuer's 50-odd custom-built houses, ranging from his own $5,300 box-on-stilts cottage on Cape Cod to a $350,000 modern mansion on Long Island, has paved the way for his small, topflight firm of 15 architects to move into Big Architecture, with current commissions on four college campuses and a share of the Y-shaped UNESCO headquarters in Paris (TIME, May 25, 1953). But unlike many architects who are only too happy to give up designing houses as being low-profit, time-consuming ventures, Breuer (whose fee is a flat...
...craft were practically unknown, British, French and Anzacs went ashore in a flotilla of paddle steamers, trawlers, yachts and river tugs. Scarcely a naval gun boomed to soften up the Turkish beaches before them: the warships at Gallipoli were too busy transporting the troops. The result was carnage. At Cape Helles the Turks began "firing from a few yards away into the packed mass of screaming, struggling men in the boats." The men "died in the boats just as they stood, crowded shoulder to shoulder, without even the grace of an instant of time to raise their rifles. When...
...testing will be done at the Air Force range at Cape Canaveral, Fla., where rockets bigger than the satellite get routine tests. A special launching pad has been built, and a special concrete blockhouse will shelter observers and testing crew. A greenish-colored gantry has been brought from White Sands Proving Ground to support the pencil-thin vehicle before it roars off toward space. Scientists gathering for the tests claim to be more worried about the sky-high cost of Florida living than about the performance of their hardware. In spite of many objections, the tests will be as secret...
...walkout of two-thirds of the canal pilots, Nasser seemed to be making good his boast. Since the seizure, 2,432 ships had passed safely through the canal, 301 since the pilots' walkout. Thanks in part to the detour of some French and British ships around the Cape, there were no jams at the canal entrances. After a few days of limiting convoys to two a day, the Egyptians moved back to the pre-seizure schedule of three a day. After traveling the 103-mile route last week on the Italian supertanker Coraggio, TIME Correspondent John Mecklin cabled...
