...after the heavily armed "escort" got to Kasai, the transports took off again, turned up at an airport in Ruanda-Urundi, the Belgian-run trust territory on the Congo's eastern edge. There the Belgians, who clearly were in on the game, smilingly agreed to U.N. demands to eject Mobutu's men, loaded them into trucks to take them back to the border. The border point they chose was 90 miles away, right across the river from Kivu's Bukavu itself...
Against the fervent and dramatic urgings of Party Leader Hugh Gaitskell, the annual conference of the British Labor Party last week voted a sensational course: to scrap British nuclear weapons, to eject Britain's U.S. allies from airbases on British soil, to pull out of the NATO alliance and count Britain out of the cold war.

Also elected was a kingpin in the 1958 revolt that toppled Chamoun, moody Kamal Jumblatt. Another leader of that revolt, ex-Premier Saeb Salam, was confidently expected...
From a launching pad at California's Vandenberg Air Force Base last week, a 78-ft., two-stage Discoverer rocket soared skyward into a fine north-south polar orbit. The following afternoon, on its 17th orbit, if things went according to plan, a remote-control signal would eject the 310-lb. payload from Discoverer VIII's orbiting second-stage rocket, and the capsule would fall earthward, slowed by a 30-ft.-wide parachute...
