...paper, Atlas is "intercontinental," capable of soaring 5,000 miles. But Atlas I, launched at Cape Canaveral last June, flew erratically, lived only 22 seconds before a safety officer pressed a button to destroy it. Atlas II started off promisingly. In its straight-up flight, lasting 20 seconds or so, it seemed to be, in the missilemen's term, "programing" perfectly, i.e., doing what its makers and tenders expected.

His reports to stockholders warn Indians against being fooled about state control of economic life. Only a handful of men. says he, can be motivated by pure service. The rest must be driven by fear or actuated by hope of gain, as in the United States, which he publicly defends as the ideal of a welfare state that has not sacrificed efficiency or freedom. But Tata is impatient of Americans, feels they...
Gogol lived and worked in the illusion that he was defending his time, place and class, while actually he helped to destroy them. In a full dress study that will probably be the definitive work on Gogol in English, Russian-born Biographer David Magarshack (Chekhov,'TIME, Sept. 28, 1953; Turgenev, TIME, Sept. 27, 1954) makes clear that it was Gogol's genius, in spite of himself, to open windows in the sealed winter cabin of the Russian soul...
