...find out what happened to the plant and animal life that once inhabited these coral islands, a team of University of Washington radiologists, sponsored by the Atomic Energy Commission, have made an extensive, five-week survey. They report findings that seem to suggest that if ever men are foolish enough to pull the nuclear trigger-and fortunate enough to limit the area of conflict-the earth may not become a wasteland after...
...auto strike was scheduled to end this week, but its effects will be felt for months to come. After President Johnson warned that a continuation of the five-week stoppage would "jeopardize the continuous upward thrust of our economy," Walter Reuther finally went into action.

Pennsylvania's Governor William Scranton will plug the ticket in eight states besides his own in 31 days of speechmaking. Kentucky's Senator Thruston Morton...
When Detroit made auto peace, Wall Street stepped on the gas. Investors rushed in, lifted volume on the New York Stock Exchange to a five-week peak of 5,700,000 shares. After cracking alltime records for three straight days, the Dow-Jones industrials closed the week at 867. That was a rise of 38 points in less than three weeks...
