...radiation above the atmosphere. They can observe the density of the fringe of the atmosphere, its temperature and composition. They can judge the danger of meteors, the reefs and shoals of space navigation. They can observe the earth's gravitation, its magnetic field, its electric charge, and the cloud patterns of its weather in ways that are impossible for earth-bound humans. Some of these jobs might be difficult for a light satellite, such as the 21.5-lb. U.S. Vanguard. But a properly equipped satellite could take pictures of the earth or the sun and transmit them...
...Pasadena, and got married. Then with his bride, demure, olive-skinned, sari-swathed Starlet Anna Kashfi, 23, almost as unknown as any of the carhops and hat-nappers he has dated while snubbing the screen's more famous ladies, "Hollywood's most eligible bachelor" vanished in a cloud of idle speculation. Was there a Welshman in the woodpile? Was Dar-jeeling-born Anna's real name Johanna O'Callaghan?

It was a job that took teamwork as smooth as any on the ballfield.

Ossie Davis does well as her occasional beau, Erik Rhodes as the exaggerated British governor of the island, Augustine as a lovable urchin, and Adelaide Hall as a homey, cloud-reading sage...
Tardily but impressively, a simulated mushroom cloud rose over the coastal hills of Thracian Turkey. Huge amphibious tanks churned up golden Aegean beaches, and troop-laden helicopters scissored down out of azure Mediterranean skies. Then 8,000 U.S. Marines who had come 6,000 miles from Virginia in four weeks, landed in Turkey last week to grab a stake of ground just north of the historic shores of Gallipoli. The tactical problem set for NATO's Operation Deep Water was to assume that Turkey had been invaded from the north, and in 40 days' fighting, the Turkish NATO...
