Nikita Khruschev's most menacing finger was pointed at Turkey, which was obviously the place where he hoped that it would produce the most effect."The ruling circles c-f the U.S.," he told Timesman Reston, ".are virtually pushing Tur key against Syria. Turkey is even laying bare parts of her frontier with the Soviet Union ... I tell Dulles and [Ambassador Loy] Henderson that it is easy to start a war but far more difficult to stop...
High-powered telescopic cameras soon to go into operation will pinpoint the flying satellite within a few feet of distance and a few milliseconds of time. Then its orbit can be tracked with enough precision to observe the effect of variations in the earth's gravitation. The satellite's radio signals (even without the key of the code) will be useful in studying the electrified layers in the upper atmosphere. Non-Russian scientists may even learn a little about the density of the air at orbit altitude, by clocking how fast the satellite loses energy...
...Mary (Irene Worth) in her castle prison and an autocratic but waveringly feminine Elizabeth (Eva Le Gallienne) in her palace. By shrugging at geography as well as history, Schiller once lets the two Queens confront each other, and has the Scottish one so denounce her English rival as in effect to sign her own death warrant...
...last month condemned smoking by members of religious orders as self-indulgence (TIME, Sept. 30). Arguing that because he is God's property, an individual has no right to endanger himself foolishly, Connell nevertheless admits that dangerous acts can sometimes be justified by the "principle of double effect" (both good and evil resulting from the same act, with the good more weighty). Scientists, he notes, have given preponderant evidence that excessive cigarette smoking greatly increases the probability of lung cancer, while moderate smoking increases the likelihood only slightly. Common sense shows that a slight danger may be risked, even...
...prices declined beyond what traders could bear. Underlying all was the growing uncertainty about the course of the U.S. economy, and indeed the nation itself. Early announcements that the U.S. would not embark on a crash program to catch Soviet Russia's earth satellite had a depressing effect. Investors were increasingly worried about high interest rates that led economists to forecast a slight fourth-quarter decline in the rate (currently $37 billion annually) of expenditures for new plant and equipment, the first drop since the first quarter of 1955. The growing surplus of oil (see below) and the possibility...
