...northwestern section of wheat-growing North Dakota, Stan Erickson, 33, was busy from dawn to dusk, bringing in his crop: 10,000 bu. of durum wheat from 400 acres. The achievement left him and his father with a marketing dilemma. Half of last year's crop-8,000 bu.-is still in storage on the family farm.

Some planets may have formed beyond the edge of MWC 349's luminous disc. They also believe more planets could form, closer to the star, as the disc condenses and cools...

Playing the President's closest advisers are such good, gray actors as Melvyn Douglas, Joseph Gotten and Leif Erickson. It is all rather comforting to see these old companions in adventure from bygone matinees. Director Aldrich, a veteran purveyor of thrills in all the low-caste genres, knows how to work this territory, nipping lightly on the nerve endings in the early going, then settling down for a protracted...
