Thanks for Prince Philip on the cover. As much as I admire the Queen and follow her travels, I am usually disappointed to find there is very little mention of Philip. Thanks for not keeping in the same rut as the other magazines...
...orbit is now fairly well known, both to Russian and non-Russian scientists. According to the Smithsonian's Astrophysical Observatory at Cambridge, Mass., the satellite follows a slightly elliptical track that carries it up 480 miles above the earth. Then it swoops down to about 140 miles, a decline of three miles since launching. Air resistance is slowly reducing Sputnik's energy and making it follow a lower and therefore faster orbit. When it was first tracked, it completed its circuit of the earth in 96.20 minutes. After 326 trips (nearly 9,000,000 miles), it now does...
Gallery Afloat. With half a dozen residences round the world to furnish, Niarchos has no shortage of wall space. El Greco's Pietà is too big (47¼-in. by 57 in.) to follow him around the world, remains in a room specially decorated for it in Manhattan.

Told in 20 scenes and lasting some three and a half hours, Compulsion begins just after two young homosexuals have, with long-calculated wantonness, killed a 14-year-old boy. There follow revelations of self-styled supermen who had dreamed of committing a perfect crime; of gay, violent, vicious Artie Straus (Richard Loeb) and his "superior slave," Judd Steiner (Nathan Leopold); of how imperfect a crime the two had actually committed; of their dissension as danger looms, their behavior as detection narrows...
...first full-fledged styling section, and in the process gave G.M. the style lead for more than 20 years. Earl pioneered the rounded body for mass-production cars, slanted windshields, fenders that projected over the doors, the hardtop convertible. Despite G.M.'s success others were slow to follow. Even as late as 1948, Chrysler President K. T. Keller hotly defended his high-hat, high-topped, old-fashioned cars: "There are parts of this country, containing millions of people, where both the men and the ladies are in the habit of getting behind the wheel, or on the back seat...
