Even for sophisticated missile watchers, the men who have marked the flight of so many of Cape Canaveral's great fire-breathing birds, last week's show was a dazzling spectacle. The blast-off was swift and sure; there was none of that heart-stopping hover of other tests when liquid-fueled monsters seemed to balance in uncertain equilibrium before they picked up the momentum of flight. This time the gleaming, 58-ft. cylinder shot straight up into the sky ahead of its lengthening tail. Three seconds after launch, its guidance system took over, turned it into...
...courtship with increased ardor. For six months Jack campaigned relentlessly for Jackie's vote, in and out of Georgetown dinner parties, Washington art theaters and movie houses (he even learned to tolerate Ingmar Bergman), at hunt breakfasts, up and down the Atlantic littoral from Palm Beach to Cape Cod. In June 1953, their engagement was announced. The Bouviers received the news with mixed reactions. Black Jack and his son-in-law-elect hit it off immediately.

Since their fathers work on missiles at Cape Canaveral, many youngsters in Melbourne, Fla. (pop. 11,982) are used to hearing high-decibel gobbledygook. They are also used to an unusual academic pace.

He once pursued a U.S. heiress all the way to Ardmore, Okla., assuring her that he was the "Duke of Imperial." Actually, though his two brothers have titles, Jimmy has none. Leaving Oklahoma behind, Jimmy paused long enough to marry Mexican Movie Actress Rosita Arenas, but they are now separated. According to a Madrid newspaper, Jimmy sold all Rosita's jewelry, including her eight-carat engagement...
...some of whose representatives backed it. Later the Dutch Reformed Churches found it necessary to clarify their stand. The smallest of the three churches-Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk with over 200,000 members-rejected the resolution and stood pat for total segregation. The two largest-the Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerks of Cape and Transvaal, with a combined membership of more than 1,200,000-insisted as before that "a policy of differentiation can be defended from the Christian point of view," but then it cautiously suggested that black Africans who are permanent dwellers in white areas should be granted a share...
