...within Cuba had insisted that the Soviet Union was equipping its Caribbean satellite with missiles, manned by Russians, that could carry nuclear destruction to the U.S. But the reports were fragmentary and sometimes contradictory. And U.S. reconnaissance planes, photographing Cuba from the Yucatan Channel to the Windward Passage, could detect no such buildup. President Kennedy was not yet persuaded to take decisive action...
...many governorships, plainly labeled Republican or Democratic; and after the campaign is examined in on-the-scene detail, it also becomes part of our job to find what common concerns agitate the entire nation. Washington Bureau Chief John Steele has been roving the country for weeks, hoping to detect an underlying national consensus, or lack of it, on major issues, and his reporting is reflected in our lead story this week. On another page, TIME in capsule form makes its own judgment on how each of the U.S. Senate races is going. Our collective neck is out in many places...
...microphone as small as a pinhead? It is on its way. A Raytheon Co. scientist has discovered that transistors, which are far smaller than any ordinary microphones, have areas that can detect fantastically faint mechanical forces and translate them into sizable changes of voltage -just as a microphone does...
There also will be noisy debate on the twin issues of disarmament and nuclear testing. The U.S. wants to keep both sets of talks going at Geneva, still maintains that the only way to detect underground nuclear explosions is a system of on-the-spot inspections, which Russia calls "espionage."

...produce coke from low-grade local coal. The ersatz coke has been proven in FMC's phosphorus furnaces, and is now being tested in steel blast furnaces. If successful there, says Davies, it could mean a revolution in the world steel industry. Similarly, an ingenious FMC device to detect blood spots on eggs during automatic packaging led to a $4,000.000 Government contract to develop an automated post office, where letters would be scanned and sorted by machine. Eying the potential profits, Davies muses happily, "There are 10,000 post offices to be automated...
