...that some men had the occult power to make sick cows well merely by thinking about them, hunted oil with "black-box" divining devices, financed expeditions (unsuccessful) to find the Abominable Snowman in the Himalayas and the animal that left a legendary footprint in the woods of California. Mrs. Clara Driscoll, a socialite and political manipulator, got so mad at the service in Corpus Christi's White Plaza Hotel that she vowed: "I'll build a hotel right beside the White Plaza. I'll build it taller, and I'll stand on top of my hotel...
Something new has been added to the exile raids on Fidel Castro's Cuba-efficiency and equipment. Early one morning last week, the Cuban government reported, two unidentified twin-engine bombers appeared in the dark skies over the provincial city of Santa Clara, 186 miles east of Havana.

...Saari. No. 1 Wunderkind of the three-day contest was 17-year-old Don Schollander, chunky (5 ft. 10 in., 160 Ibs.) star of the Santa Clara, Calif., Swim Club.

...rolling hills of Santa Clara County, 60 miles southeast of San Francisco, a man-made volcano erupted. A brilliant flame spewed 200 ft. in the air, and a screaming roar rolled across the country, knocking birds to the ground and shaking a helicopter that hovered a mile away. The eruption was over in less than two minutes, but its reverberations would shake more than helicopters. This was the first test of United Aircraft Corp.'s big, new solid-fuel rocket engine, and it was completely successful. Partisans of solid fuel will cite it proudly in claiming for solids...
