...Catholics were in the fair on the ground floor four years ago. "It is inconceivable that the Catholic Church should not be represented at such a gathering," said the Rev. Jan Joos, secretary-general of the Holy See's pavilion. "Since most people no longer come to the church, we must bring the church to them." To help raise money, the church went farther than the fair itself: 53 national committees were organized, and representatives appointed in other countries. Posters were printed in ten languages, a pavilion magazine published in seven...
...didn't want to make our pavilion big," Fagel explains. "There's such a crying need for money for other purposes. People don't come to the fair to go to church. We didn't plan congresses, the way the Catholics did."

One Protestant worry is the electronic carillon in the Civitas Dei bell tower 570 yards away. "I hope they don't play it too much," gloomed Fagel last...
...great bevatron at Berkeley creates antiprotons (protons with negative charges, in fair quantities.

About a fortnight ago an antiproton observed by Dr. Segrè and Dr. Wilson M. Powell behaved differently. It entered Dr. Segrè's bubble chamber, which is filled with liquid propane on the point of boiling, and made its normal, slightly curving trail of tiny bubbles (see cut). Suddenly the trail stopped, and a "star" of four diverging bubble trails appeared...

CBS, which put up the $400,000 for My Fair Lady, brushed off a $300,000 chance to finance The Music Man, missed a deal for 40% of the profits. Collecting modest sums from many angels, Bloomgarden got Music Man to Broadway...
...aircraft will carry almost twice the load (40 passengers) at half again the speed (more than 280 m.p.h.) twice the distance (1,700 miles), and accomplish the task in pressurized, air-conditioned comfort. Says Fairchild President Richard S. Boutelle: "Every DC-3 in the air is fair game for us, and we want to replace them...
