...would probably be months before investigators - helped by U.S. experts -could piece together the causes of the disaster, but the facts could scarcely lighten the burden of the tragedy itself. It was proud Sabena's worst disaster, and the first crash involving a regularly scheduled commercial Boeing 707 (two other 707 crack-ups occurred during training flights). No one life could claim a value above another, but the deaths of brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, fathers and sons dealt one of the worst blows to whole families of any crash ever.

Married. Janet Ellen Wagner Frank, 29, photographer's model and widow of Lawyer Julian Frank, who was killed, along with 33 others, in a plane crash 13 months ago when a dynamite bomb exploded near his seat in an unsolved murder-or-suicide mystery that has prevented the payoff to his widow of $997,500 in insurance; and Joseph F.

We are in fact capable of producing weapons of almost any magnitude, and the history of unclear armaments shows that destructive-offensive technology has consistently stayed ahead...
...long as the two airmen remained in Russian cells, there could be no more than cold and formal conversation between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. Diplomatic communication leading to even the slightest relief in tension between the two countries had been all but destroyed by the crash of the U-2 and Khrushchev's foaming conduct at the summit last May. The return of the RB-47 flyers was only a gesture toward relaxing tensions. It was still winter on the cold war frontier, and RB-47 flights were still necessary along the enemy's outposts...
