After the conference a smiling President and a wan governor walked down the stairs into a cluster of newsmen. "The President and I have had a very friendly and constructive conference," said Faubus. Said President Eisenhower: "Good to see you." Replied Faubus: "Thanks." Then they parted...
Passion for Sounds. At home Cowell now leads a life far quieter than in his keyboard-slamming "tone-cluster" days of the '20s and early '30s, when a New York newspaper sent a sportswriter to one of his piano recitals and featured it as a fight between "Kid Knabe and Battling Cowell."

Aeronutronic's rocket, named Far Side, lacks the streamlined style of surface-starting rockets.

Cost: $600 for two weeks, which is usually paid by the executive's firm. (Wives may come along for $250 extra.) As soon as the executive signs up, he gets a copy of all reading material for two weeks, with a strong...
