Even Judge Wyzanski barely jumped away from the splash of Goldfine's friendly money. Last November, while he patiently sorted out the complex Boston Port operations, Wyzanski spent an evening with his wife at one of her fund-raising benefits, this one for the America-Israel Cultural Foundation. Who should turn up-and make a $1,000 contribution "in honor of Mrs. Wyzanski"-but Bernard and Charlotte Goldfine, whom the Wyzanskis had never met socially. With an air of innocent enthusiasm, Mrs. Goldfine bustled over to say that her husband had made the gift "because he admires your wife...
Said one American observer, noting that many foreign visitors are first bewildered, then bored by the U.S. exhibit: "Admittedly, developing a coherent theme out of the complex U.S. life is a tougher job than any of these. But it seemed to me the U.S. Pavilion has failed even to make an intelligent...

To operate the airways, the Civil Aeronautics Administration is spending $1 billion to replace the current hodgepodge control with a semiautomatic, radar-based system. The trouble with the plan is its target date: 1963. With a lead-time of 18 months or more for complex radars, CAA is still waiting for 70% of the control equipment ordered since 1956. To be really safe, say CAA men, 85% of the 100,000 U.S. planes now flying would have to be ordered out of the air until the whole new system is in operation...
