...Dawn. When he finally entered the wide blue and gold council chamber, Dag Hammarskjold looked, as always, calm and cool. But there was a strain in his tired voice, and his words, usually oblique and professional, this time were plain and full of passion. The Congo, said Hammarskjold with chilling precision, is "a question of peace or war, and when saying peace or war, I do not limit my perspective to the Congo."

...will be used primarily to explore the intimate nature of matter-a problem that seems to grow more baffling as its outermost fringes are explored. Brookhaven's 30-Bev protons will be shot against other protons, eventually in an 80-in. liquid-hydrogen bubble chamber, the world's largest, which is now being designed. Out of the proton-proton collision will come a weird menagerie of short-lived particles.

Known as Il Motorino (Little Motor), Fanfani has, in addition to his Christian Democrats, the pledged support of three center parties, the Saragat Socialists, Liberals, and Republicans, ensuring him a majority in both the Senate and Chamber of Deputies without the help of the neoFascists. But any one of the supporting parties could clog up Il Motorino's gas line should he show any of the leftist economic notions or excessive Catholic zeal that have toppled his governments in the past.
