...stood before the House of Commons last week, Defense Minister Harold Watkinson wore the pained expression of a man treading on nettles. "In the light of our military advice," intoned Watkinson, "we have concluded . . . that we ought not to continue to develop, as a military weapon, a missile that can be launched only from a fixed site." After six years of work and an expenditure of $280 million, Britain was scrapping its most ambitious military rocket, the 2,500-mile Blue Streak IRBM. The big rocket might be salvaged as a satellite launcher in the space sweepstakes, said Watkinson...
...shoot, Russian rockets have proved accurate enough to knock them all out with a single barrage. What Britain needs is a highly mobile missile force that can retaliate from submarines or surface ships, railroad flatcars or truck trailers. And that is precisely what the U.S., but not Britain, can develop in time. The solid-fueled Polaris is well ahead of schedule, will be ready by 1961. Skybolt will take longer, is scheduled for 1965.

After completion, the port facilities will be turned over to the government. Also important to parched Mauritania, MIFERMA will drill wells to tap the underground reservoirs recently discovered not far from Port-Etienne...
...Prado in 1956. Like Beltrán, Prado belongs to the aristocracy of 30 or 40 interlocking families that dominate Peru, yet he was elected by APRA on his promise, which he kept, of restoring the outlawed party's legality. APRA's advice to Prado was to develop Peru's backward land by deficit financing. Against his own preferences Prado acquiesced, and government presses cranked out endless paper sols to pay for the expansion. He was soon in deep economic trouble and under fire from Publisher Beltrán. Prado's answer was direct and logical...
