...most wonderful week I have ever spent," Partygoer Elsa Maxwell, 74, submitted a rose-colored report from Venice, where "all class snobbishness is removed-the doorman at the hotel, the gondoliers, the bellboys, maids, duchesses, princesses, they are all the same: kind, sweet, delightful." So charged did she feel in the early hours of one of her own parties that, with large numbers of titled internationals hovering in the background and Soprano Maria Callas (a shapely unoperatic bathing beauty by day) beside her humming Stormy Weather, Elsa banged away at the piano, blew the saxophone, valiantly beat the drums-admittedly...
Infra-red technique is developing rapidly, and most of the interesting details are still secret. It has been announced that certain air-to-air guided missiles seek their prey by feeling for heat rays and steering toward their source, which may be the exhaust or warm wing edges of a fast airplane. Long-range missiles can probably feel for enemy cities, and reconnaissance missiles may some day return from high-arching flights with heat pictures of an enemy's secret factories and bases. An obvious steering system for antimissile missiles would be a heat-sensitive device to feel...

Cowell was also able, in the past year, to work on a 13th symphony, write a two-movement piece with a "Japanese feel" titled Ongaku (music), and compose, on commission, a national anthem for the new state of Malay (it was rejected, along with entries by Benjamin Britten and others, in favor of a Malayan folk tune named Bright Moonlight...
...ceilinged office of John Foster Dulles, Agronsky tested his new concept-"penetrating the wellsprings of character"-to good effect. By exploring areas that the news panel shows had never found cause to enter, Agronsky made a refreshing switch on the usual Dulles interview. (Sample questions: What does a man feel when he faces a decision that might mean the difference between peace and war? How do you reconcile the doctrine of massive retaliation with the Christian ethic?) Though NBC rudely cut the Bible-quoting Secretary off in the middle of an answer (to plug other NBC shows), the net result...
