...Brinkley's Journal got off to an unpromising start in its first program, presenting a splendid rendition of America the Beautiful on the audio while the video showed pictures of trash heaps, automobile graveyards, dump trucks dumping, and beer cans floating in the shining sea. Only a freshman in a high school journalism class would have considered it a towering achievement. But after that he settled down to some remarkable short studies, in which the camera work was vivid and the scripts (which he writes himself) tartly acute...

Only the Saturn booster was tested last week; the upper two stages of the rocket were dummies filled with water for ballast. Saturn is scheduled to make its first operational flight in 1964, will have enough power to orbit a ten-ton satellite around the earth or dump a four-ton load of instruments on the moon. By 1966, an advanced model Saturn, boosted by two 1,500,000-lb. North American F-1 engines, is programed to put a three-man spacecraft called Apollo into orbit around the moon. In the meantime, the U.S. hopes to start landing instruments...

...flee west. In front of the wall, Communist workers laid heavy new barriers to frustrate daredevil drivers who had discovered a new way to escape. Most talented of these was the 23-year-old worker who last week packed his wife into the front seat of a five-ton dump truck, got up speed along darkened side streets paralleling the frontier, then roared out at 40 m.p.h. to plow through the wall, scattering Vopos and broken concrete in all directions...

...because private enterprise has shied away from building movie houses, skating rinks and bowling alleys until there is a sufficient teen-age population to support them. The youngsters avoid the archaeological clubs, Young Conservative Clubs, the teen-age branches of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. "This town is a dump," says a 17-year-old in Stevenage. "Unless you like walking around looking at new buildings. There's certainly not much else to do." In the U.S., sociologists have found similar disenchantment among city dwellers who have moved from their crowded tenements into spacious public-housing developments...
