...your baby full of candy:/What quicker way to make a dandy?," has a gay and terse rhythm. The latter, perhaps less clear in its contemplation of man's past seen as a view from a high hill, moves quietly to its assertion that every crag achieved on the climb is part of the final reward, the vision from the summit. Other poems in this gracious vein are "Words from the Genius of a Place," "Deaths," and "Morning After Wedding Night...
...Said Artzy Vokeris, 53, in his broken English: "Lights out. Ship prow cut all lines. Gas steam in. Everybody trapped in room and can't see. I crawl on floor to get out. Butler and McKay right where collision is. Nobody see them anywhere. Joe Mora try to climb out porthole and pull self on deck. He fall in water.

...probably with Crossfield at the controls, will be dropped to glide without power to earth. Then will come the first tentative powered flights, using only a fraction of the engine's 50,000-lb. thrust.

Last week the Commerce Department reported that manufacturers, cutting down their inventories since October 1957, have begun to build them up again. Their stocks climbed $300 million to $49.5 billion on a seasonally adjusted basis. The backlog of unfilled orders in January totaled $47.6 billion, a gain of $800 million over December. The turn came just about when Government economists expected; they expect that inventories will continue to climb at a moderate pace for the rest of the year...
