...Soviet Union's two South in- Pretoria and Cape Town -their doors last week on orders of South Africa's Nationalist government. Said External Affairs Minister Eric Louw : "The Russian consul general has cultivated and maintained contact with subversive elements in South Africa and has formed channels of communication between them and Moscow." Consul General N. V. Ivanov denied (as the Communists always do) any subversive activity, but freely admitted another charge leveled by the Union government : that Negroes, who can not buy or be given liquor in South Africa, had been served vodka at Russian consular parties...
From all over the Union white women, most of them middle-aged housewives, all wearing over-the-shoulder black sashes, converged on Cape Town last week and paraded silently down Cape Town's main street. Then they took stations at five-yard intervals in front of Parliament and began a 48-hour vigil of silent protest, ignoring rotten vegetables hurled by young hoodlums. As leather-lunged Prime Minister Johannes Strydom convened Parliament in joint session in the final act of his long campaign to write white supremacy into the law of his tragically divided land, the silent ladies, lined...
What O'Keeffe wanted to do included huge bee's-eye views of blossoms, asphalt cityscapes, white skulls and pelves set against hard blue Southwestern skies, and -lately-such stark, sun-filled abstractions as From the Plains.

The first stage, whose rocket motor will have 27,000 lbs. of thrust, will take off from the Air Force's missile test base at Cape Canaveral, Fla. About two minutes after takeoff, it will have traveled about 40 miles, and will be traveling 3,000 to 4,000 m.p.h. Then the second rocket stage will take over, reaching 11,000 m.p.h. at about 130 miles altitude. When it has risen 300 miles, the final rocket...
...rocket that has actually been flown. It is a great, sharp-nosed metal cylinder. In accordance with Army doctrine, it is tough, can stand quick transportation and quick firing from enemy-influenced territory. Tested many times from the monstrous steel tower that sticks up above the scrub palmetto of Cape Canaveral, Fla., the Redstone is a vast improvement over its ancestral V2, both in range, guidance and warhead. The Army is confident that after moderate changes it will reach to 1,500 miles. The Redstone is the reason why the Army has been given a crack at the IRBMs (Intermediate...
