Member states of the United Nations seem more willing to work smoothly together in science than in politics. This week the first phase of a U.N. global weather information service went into operation. Its four communication centers are at New York, Frankfurt, New Delhi-and Moscow. They are connected by radio or land-line teletypewriter circuits, and their job is to gather weather data from their areas of responsibility and pass it along to the others, either direct or by relay.

Hary suffers from brittle nerves, and in preparation for the stress of Rome has been taking long walks in the country. In the end, Norton's chief threats will...
...This week ten officials of Aeroflot, the Soviet civil airline, will poke through every nook and cranny of Idlewild on a restricted tour of U.S. airports, searching for ideas to take back home. Cologne is building an instrument-landing runway with narrow-gauge lighting patterned after Idlewild's. Frankfurt has jet-terminal improvements scheduled, but is waiting to see how Idlewild's new facilities work...
