...fallout from Russia's 30-megaton bomb drifted eastward from Novaya Zemlya last week, few governments acted so elaborately unconcerned as the satellite regimes. But Eastern Europe's people showed their alarm by buying up prodigious quantities of table salt in the widespread (and erroneous) belief that a salt rub is the best protection against radioactivity...
...local fallout, it surely created some fission products that stayed below the stratosphere to drift with the winds of the lower atmosphere until rain or snow brought them down. By studying their charts, U.S. meteorologists figured that this cloud of tropospheric fallout moved southward into Russia, then swung eastward to cross Siberia. At week's end, it was heading across to the U.S. (see map) near Oregon and Idaho where rain was expected to wash some of its radioactive debris to earth...
...fall.

Early in May, a high-pressure ridge formed over the Rocky Mountains in the U.S. and Canada. Since air circulates clockwise around a high-pressure area, the ridge brought dry air streaming down from northern Canada. In a normal year the ridge would have shifted gradually eastward, allowing warm, moist air to flow northwest from the Gulf of Mexico and bring normal rain to the high plains. But this year the high-pressure area stuck stubbornly over the Rockies during June and the first half of July. The dry, sunny weather that it brought dried out and heated the earth...
...Jackie Cochran, reciprocating engines, wheel pants and struts. Civilians no longer could afford to compete, and according to present procedure, only one service was invited. But early one day last week, five Navy F4H-1 Phantom II jets roared down the runway at Los Angeles International Airport and raced eastward. Their goals: Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field, a new transcontinental speed record, and the Bendix Trophy-one of the most coveted awards in U.S. aviation...
