...honor of the U.S.S.R.'s visiting First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan. The questioning, led by Lausche, turned to the crash of an off-course U.S. Air Force C-130 transport in Soviet Armenia last September; Lausche doubted the Soviets' insistence that they knew nothing about eleven crewmen still unaccounted for. Mikoyan looked Lausche in the eye and said: "You have no faith in us." Last week the State Department put out a tape-recorded transcript (see Foreign Relations) that proved again and unforgettably that Communists give words a special meaning of their own. The Kremlin had denied that...

...ICBM (after Atlas) brought cheers from airmen and Titan's Martin Co. crew, weary from a two-month fight against the gremlins that unaccountably popped its umbilical cord and played other tricks on five previous countdowns. Since two previous firing fizzles took place on the launching pad, the crewmen could even boast-and did-that theirs was the first long-range U.S. missile to perform perfectly on first launch...

...education two years ago, was pregnant and more intellectual than ever. Marilyn stayed coolly sealed inside the mental isolation booth that Manhattan Methodman Lee Strasberg prescribed for "getting into" a part (hers: a uke-playing songbird of the '20s). Marilyn ordered gawkers kicked off the set, banned cussing crewmen, played love scenes with Leading Man Tony Curtis as if enclosed in a cake of ice.
