...precisely what it did not mean. Then, in his first important-if insufficient-shift toward compromise, Nasser let it be known through the Indian government that he would be ready to "internationalize" Suez Canal tolls, i.e., let a conference of canal users set the rates. But on the core of the matter-Egypt's refusal to relinquish control of the canal to international supervision -Gamal Abdel Nasser stood firm, awaiting the next challenge...
...star of the film was clearly the chorus; and the whole production seemed to be organized around the chorus as a focal core. They sang beautifully together and were right on pitch. Violet Teass wrote the fine choral chants. And Henry Hallstrom's extensive musical score, played by 21 members of the National Symphony Orchestra, was unusually distinguished and carefully synchronized. No less expert was the chorus' dancing of Eleanor Struppa's choreography. Executed with precision, the dancing adapted most effective the modern Martha Graham stylistic approach...
Weather radar works by sending out pulses of radio waves which are reflected by raindrops, hailstones and other precipitation particles. Shorter waves rebound from the tiny drops of moisture of a cloud's surface. The longer wave bands penetrate clouds like X rays, show only the inner core (if any) of heavy rain or hail.- Thus, by varying wave bands and pulse lengths, the new weather radars can look at a cloud as a whole or can look deeply into it, or even through it. They can measure accurately a cloud's altitude -a matter of critical importance...
...radiant central sphere, 401n. in diameter, rotates with the gentlest breeze. Soaring outward from the free-moving core are finespun wire planes in the form of arcs (the sun's corona and prominences), so finely constructed that they quiver with the building's imperceptible vibration. Even more remarkable than the feat of putting it together is Sculptor Lippold's assurance that he can disassemble The Sun, pack it away in handy-sized packing crates. ¶ In Minneapolis the Institute of Arts had on view a 21 in. bronze Monkey and Her Baby, by 74-year-old Pablo...
Firmly repudiating Togliatti's suggestion that Russia's present leaders were "co-responsible" with Stalin, the Central Committee advanced for the first time the unsubstantiated claim that there had in fact been a staunch "Leninist core" of the Central Committee and that on occasion it opposed Stalin's arbitrary use of power. "There were certain periods, for instance during the war years when the individual acts of Stalin were sharply restricted . . . Members of the Central Committee and also outstanding Soviet war commanders took over certain sectors of activity in the rear, and at the front made independent...
