...creed of Negro nonviolence was the hallmark of Montgomery's Reverend Martin Luther King (TIME, Feb. 18), another brand of nonviolence marks the year-old administration of a remarkable Deep South governor, Mississippi's James Plemon Coleman. Coleman wants time to show what Mississippi can do on its own-and he probably wants to run for the Senate in 1960 against Race Baiter James Easttend. See NATIONAL AFFAIRS, The Six-Foot Wedge...
...David Ben-Gurion, vowing that Israel's tough little army would not give up conquered Gaza and the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba until it got guarantees that Egypt could not again use these bases to attack Israel or strangle her commerce. There sat Egypt's deep-chested Gamal Abdel Nasser, shirtsleeved before his nine telephones, a hard-pressed, unpredictable man who was hearing the arguments with unaccustomed mildness...
...N.A.A.C.P. "What we need." says Coleman, "is peace and quiet. What happened in Clinton, Tenn. will be like a boil on the side of Mount Everest compared to what could happen in Mississippi."

Now, with the craze for skindiving, with Aqua-Lungs, snorkels and similar gadgets sold in the corner store, civilian doctors are daily confronted with unfamiliar problems. In the New England Journal of Medicine...
...North American is also building the long-range ramjet Navaho missile. But development of better missiles may cut back the Navaho program by a sharp 90% in 1958. Yet North American expects to be in healthy shape. Along with Boeing, the company is deep in design studies for a radical new supersonic bomber. Even better, North American was one of the first to jump into rocket engines, and its Rocketdyne division has juicy contracts for missile projects, including the huge Martin and Convair ICBMs...
