...elaborately publicized succession, President Eisenhower proclaimed U.S. "anxiety" over the Syrian situation, U.S. fleet units churned up a show of force in Eastern Mediterranean waters, and U.S. Air Force C124 Globemasters wheeled over Amman in a display delivery of U.S. 106-mm. antitank rifles to Jordan's army. Instead of persuading other Arab countries that the Arab nationalists of Syria were a threat to them, the U.S. display offended them and drove Syria's neighbors to proclaim their solidarity with their Arab brothers. Within 24 hours every U.S. ally in the Arab world had rallied to Syria...
...counterpunch was to make a display of speeding arms delivery to Syria's Arab neighbors. At week's end eight C124 Globemasters were standing by in Athens and Libya to airlift U.S. weapons, including 106-mm. recoilless rifles, to Jordan. And determined not to let Syria's new pro-Russian regime lull everyone to sleep with sweet talk, Washington did what it could to make plain its concern about Syria (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS). This was a clear declaration of intent to defend vital U.S. interests in the Mideast, but so far the initiative there remained with...
...Ponti is perhaps the world's top designer, and the busiest. He put up his own pavilion to display a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bath in which every object is a product of his own imagination.

The months wear on, and Lieut. Commander Todd begins to understand the superiority of spit to polish. At last, with the courage of a heart made whole, Todd runs the battered vessel past artillery-lined riverbanks on a wild, 140-mile nighttime dash to sea. It is all history now, but the capable direction of Michael (Around the World...
After ten years of planning and $250 million for tooling, Ford Motor Co. put its long-awaited Edsel on display this week. The first new "Big Three" car since Ford brought out the Mercury in 1938 is a recognizable Ford product without radical jetlike fins or bomb-shaped bumpers. Like Ford and Mercury, it presents a squarish appearance with a flat rear deck, horizontal taillights that flare up and out, an oval, uncluttered grille reminiscent of the elegant Cord of the '30s. Under its hood is a burly engine turning up 303 h.p. in the less expensive models...
