...Although we don't claim to treat them," Dr. Slack stated, "we get better results than we would by using conventional methods." The project is not set up as a social service agency. Rather, it is a scientific endeavor, aimed at discovering reasons for juvenile delinquency. Research and treatment complement each other; Dr. Slack said, "The kids treat themselves by discussion, and reviewing their own material work...
Whose Memory? Later that day, at the separate trial of three Turkish cops charged with beating Sergeants Dale McCuistion and James King in an attempt to extract confessions from them, the Americans fared no better. The accused cops produced a parade of witnesses who claimed to have been present at the questioning of McCuistion and King and to have seen no signs of brutality. But when Sergeant McCuistion asked the judge to question one of the witnesses more closely on timing, the judge coolly remarked: "Well, who would think of marking down the date anyway." Nor did the court make...
...they are erecting enough other buildings to give the capital a total of 398 million sq. ft. of new floor space-more than 14 times that of all the office buildings put up in Manhattan since the war. In a three-day cleanup campaign, 1,000,000 Peking residents claim to have collected refuse, dirt and mud sufficient to build a wall "three feet wide and 21 feet high, running 1,200 miles from Peking to Canton."

Among other things, J.P.L. designed and produced the first successful U.S. high-altitude sounding rocket (the WAC Corporal in 1945), developed the first successful solid-fuel propellant, devised and built the guidance systems that have guided satellites into space, and the instruments that telemeter back what they find. Practically every U.S. missile program has called for its advice. Today it is run by Caltech as the prime deep-space laboratory of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, with 2,700 employees...
Pasternak & Profits. Few university publishers can claim quite the enterprise of the University of Michigan's Fred Wieck, an ex-Henry Regnery Co. executive, who took over an unimpressive setup in 1954 and built it into a $1,000,000 operation noted for stunning jacket designs. Last winter Wieck published the first Russian-language edition of Boris Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago in the Western Hemisphere and sold an amazing 15,000 copies, is following this week with a collection of Pasternak's poems in English that is likely to sell even better. Says Publisher Wieck: "There...
