Widows of U.S. Senators sometimes make appealing Senators themselves: Oregon's Maurine Neuberger was appointed to fill out her husband Richard's term in 1960, went on to win another six years of her own. But the Senate's newest widow quickly put an end to any such speculation. Paris-trained Nancy Kefauver, 52, has always preferred painting to politics, and her whistle-stopping smiles were only surface-deep during the quarter century in which Estes Kefauver held first a House, then a Senate seat from Tennessee. She will remain in Washington, painting portraits on commission...
Space beyond the belt has unknown perils too. Bright flares breaking out of the sun occasionally fill it with X rays, ultraviolet and erratically curving streams of high-energy particles. No one knows how to forecast these tempests in space, or how to keep them from killing unshielded spacemen. If manned lunar spacecraft must be protected by heavy shielding, the rockets that launch them will have to be made bigger, and this will cause change and long delay all down the line...
...Orator. Only when word got around that Republican Leader Everett McKinley Dirksen was scheduled to speak did the Senate begin to fill. It was known that Dirksen, after harboring "grave doubts," had come around to approval.

Conceived just last year as a $15,000, six-day experiment, the program was nourished along this year with a $39,500 grant from the Harkness Foundation, and was expanded to fill the "dark" Monday nights of the park's Shakespeare Festival. The season was such a success with the crowds that plans are already afoot to extend it to two full weeks at next summer...
Whimsy & Butterflies. So far, Heebner has recorded 46 Welte artists and gleaned from the rolls enough music to fill 40 LPs. He still has 60 artists unrecorded. Having despaired of distributing the records through major labels because of their inevitable involvement-with discount sales, Heebner plans to sell his albums by mail order-twelve LPs a year in editions of 5,000 priced at an unvarying $12.50 each. For openers, three LPs in a handsome package will be offered to Book-of-the-Month Club members this week at $17.95 for monaural and $19.95 for stereo...
