...most far-flung extremes of the globe. Such news was made last week when the Air Force rescued a 20-man scientific team from a block of ice in the Arctic. Getting the news this time required extraordinary speed. From his post in Anchorage, Correspondent Bill Smith flew to Fairbanks, waited in 10° weather for the arrival of part of the I.G.Y. team. From Boston, Correspondent Ruth Mehrtens drove to Westover Air Force Base to meet returning Strategic Air Command rescue planes. Smith buttonholed a group of the rescued airmen, got his interview, put it on the wires...

Teheran and Istanbul to Rome, where he will pick up a car to drive to Switzerland. His brother. Crown Prince Mohammed, flew to Switzerland from Amman two weeks ago; his mother, daughter and sister and other brother are already there-leaving not one member of his immediate family in Jordan, and all affairs of his kingdom in the hands of a regency council of honorable nonentities...
...Huff.* After two days, during which Frankie sulked and even refused an invitation to a ball for Princess Margaret, Lady Beatty decided to save face-her own face, which in times of emotional stress has a tendency to break out in an unbecoming rash. Off to Zurich she flew to see her psychiatrist. Said she about Frankie: "I don't want to see him ever again...
