...concrete shield of the cyclotron swung open, and a masked scientist dashed wildly down a 100-yard corridor in a race. His opponents: a set of disintegrating atoms. Though it was quite unlike the procedure normally associated with the grave and careful laboratories of science, the race was crucial to the performance of that increasingly difficult feat-the identification of a new element. The story of how the 100-yard dash helped a team of international scientists create element 102 is told in SCIENCE, Chemists...
Events in Bonn and Paris made the inside pages-but they were milestones too, and history will so record them. West Germany took last week and France will take this week the crucial steps to declare themselves part of a Common Market that will enable these divided lands for the first time in modern history to have a vast, tariff-free trading zone comparable to the U.S., embracing six nations and 160 million people. At the same time (see below), the most powerful of Western European nations, West Germany, voted, to outlaw the return of cartels in favor of free...
...offense to democratic usage and the good sense of the Sardinian people," huffed Sardinia's most eminent citizen, ex-Premier Antonio Segni.

Some time in the next two months, President Ruiz Cortines will make the choice after a round of crucial but secret talks with former Presidents, Cabinet members, governors and generals-plus a long and lonely conversation with himself. The winner's name will gradually leak out, and he will be nominated when the all-powerful Party of Revolutionary Institutions (P.R.I.) meets late this year. On the first Sunday of July...
...station show was the "holy mess" Billy's team imagined, nobody else seemed to notice. Variety tagged it a "surefire click," hailed Billy as "tremendous box office." Trendex awarded him an 8.1 rating, highest ever registered by ABC for the crucial time slot opposite TV Titans Jackie Gleason and Perry Como. (Said Perry: "Very fine rating." Said Jackie: "No comment.") That meant (if the rating systems can be relied on to calculate audiences) an audience of about 7,000,000, biggest single congregation in the history of U.S. evangelism and enough to fill the Garden every...
