...contrast, Ramfis' younger brother, Rhadames, 15, is well liked at Kemper Military School in Boonville, Mo., 100 miles east of Kansas City. When he overstayed leave to attend sister Angelita's wedding (TIME, Jan. 20), he walked off his twelve demerits in the yard, like any other cadet. Bradford's agents also patrol outside the school, but are not allowed on the grounds. Rhadamés' official allowance, possibly augmented by money from home, is the standard $3 a week...
...temperature inside the Explorer has been fairly moderate in spite of the contrast between the heat of sunlight and the intense cold in the shadow of the earth. It has ranged from 50° to 85° F., about the spread of temperature of an average spring day in the Southwest...
...Such great riders as Eddie Arcaro (TIME, May 17, 1948) and Ted Atkinson, though they may look just as rough as Willie when they are going down the stretch in a scrap for a big purse, sit their mounts with something that could be called style.

Since first striking Sicilian oil in 1954 at Ragusa (where ENI had tried and failed), he pointed out that Gulf has drilled 34 holes, and that 31 of them are now producing 22,000 bbl. a day-only half of eventual capacity. In contrast, ENI's subsidiary, AGIP Mineraria, has moved into Gela, 30 miles away, in hopes of matching Gulf: there it has a 56,000-acre concession, but only four wells producing. Daily take: about 1,540 bbl. of crude so sulphurous that it has to be treated before refining...
...contrast, U.S. manufacturers have only eight power-plant contracts around the world, most of them small. In addition to costs, AEC tightly restricts sales of enriched uranium, needed for U.S.-designed plants, refuses to guarantee foreign nations all they need; Britain, on the other hand, gives a lifetime fuel guarantee with each contract. Still another complaint is insurance. British underwriters have banded together to form the British Insurance (Atomic Energy) Committee to write a plan for insuring foreign nuclear plants. The U.S., while it has finally developed a joint Government-private insurance program for domestic reactors, has no plan...
