...knew well enough that few would take the offer: most of the Ghanaians in Conakry are members of Nkrumah's personal entourage who, in Accra, would face jail, a trial, and perhaps a firing squad. At week's end, Ghana's strongman, Lieut. General Joseph Ankrah flew off-via a Ghana Airways jet-to Addis Ababa to talk the whole thing over. After huddling with Emperor Haile Selassie, Liberia's President Tubman and Egypt's Nasser, Ankrah relented. To Accra went a message: turn the imprisoned Guineans loose...
...Monkees had not yet got around to singing anything, however, so Donnie Kirshner, the 32-year-old pop-rock entrepreneur (TIME, April 22), flew out to Hollywood from New York to spend two months with them. From these sessions emerged a single recording, Last Train to Clarksville, and an album called The Monkees; this week the album is first in sales in the nation, and Clarksville the second among singles...
Cold Stills & Hot Springs. Geologist William Fischer, who headed the survey, soon recognized the significance of the findings: like an aerial divining rod, the infra-red scanner had spotted streams of cool, fresh rain water flowing out into the ocean. After completing the volcanic survey, the B-25 flew back and forth over Hawaii's entire coastline, eventually detecting a total of 219 shore areas that might have underground fresh-water springs. In one 5-sq.-mi. area in Hilo Bay, the scientists estimate, the discharge of fresh water amounts to 100 million gallons a day. Using the infra...

First proposed in 1935 shortly after Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh flew to Moscow, the idea was plucked out of limbo by 1958-59 cultural-exchange agreements. Then the talks were broken off after the Soviets shot down the U-2 in 1960. When the Russians released two captured RB-47 flyers as a gesture to the new Kennedy Administration, negotiations resumed, and the deal had even been tentatively struck when the Berlin Wall blocked it. The Cuban missile...
...American and Aeroflot, the U.S.S.R.'s huge government-owned airline. Service is expected to start next spring at about $550 for a roundtrip economy 21-day excursion. Pan Am will probably put Boeing 707s on the route. Aeroflot will most likely use the massive TU-114s that it flew last week in initiating an Aeroflot-Air Canada service between Moscow and Montreal. As part of the U.S.-Soviet terms, the Russians had to agree to upgrade baggage and passenger handling and other deficiencies at their end. This should work no great hardship since-in the face of an open...
