...inspection-and the stoppage made many a policy-planner uneasy. Last week Atomic Energy Commission Chairman John McCone admitted at his first press conference what he had long argued in private (TIME. Sept. 1)-that stopping U.S. tests "would delay and probably prevent'' development of low-radioactivity ("clean") weapons essential for U.S. defense, e.g., antimissile missiles. In its last test at Nevada Proving Grounds, before the stoppage, the AEC successfully set off a Hiroshima-sized underground shot ( 20 kilotons) that spouted a geyser of dirt but proved beyond doubt that the Russians could make important underground tests without...
...years, Producer Gurian has been looking for what might be called a clean bomb-a low-radiation play that he could take on the road before Manhattan critics could blast it. Last week after having read more than 400 scripts, Actress Harris opened to warm reviews in Wilmington, Dela. in her husband's production of The Warm Peninsula, an impish tale of a good little Milwaukee girl's search for glamour in Miami.

...suggests that he had to be a bit of a hero himself. From bath to bedtime (often a cup of "real" turtle soup at 2 or 3 a.m. ) he had to look after the greatest package of will power and energy in the Western world. Also, he had to clean paint brushes and look after the remarkable Churchill wardrobe. In the uniform department, it was one of the most splendid seen in Europe since the fall of the Bastille. For the rest. Churchill hated to get new clothes. A comfort lover down to his underclothes (silk), he felt most comfortable...
