...Zionist movement finally saw daylight last week. CBS Board Chairman William Paley announced plans to convert the site of the defunct Stork Club (TIME, Oct. 15) into a lot-size (42 ft. by 100 ft.) public park as a memorial to his father, Cigar Czar Samuel Paley, who died in 1963. The $1,000,000 plaza, which is to be completed this summer, will be New York's first midtown "waistcoat" park, and the first privately endowed public park in the city. Designed by Zion, it will feature a canopy of 24 intertwined locust trees, individual chairs...
...General Dynamics, revitalized after the largest loss ever suffered by a U.S. corporation ($135 million in 1961), last year won a $1.7 billion production contract for its controversial F-111 (born TFX) adjustable-wing Air Force-Navy fighter.

Every spring, he said, water from melting snow pours into Yugoslavia's Karst caves, compressing air that whistles out through vents in the earth's surface. Why not seal the caves and funnel the escaping air to gas turbines, which could convert it into useful energy? Djordjevitch soon had an answer: the caves are vented in too many places; they are almost impossible to seal...
...institution trying to meet the needs of the state's urban growth. It took over the impoverished private University of Kansas City in 1963, made it a coequal university campus with schools of dentistry, pharmacy and music. It elevated a St. Louis junior college to similar status, will convert it to a four-year curriculum this fall. Another campus in Rolla, which is about 100 miles southwest of St. Louis in the Ozarks, was created out of a school of mines and metallurgy...
