Jupiter & Zeus. Continental Army Command's General Willard G. Wyman contributed a stinging attack against the Defense Department's "arbitrary," "rigid" and "dangerous" ruling that Army missiles must be limited to 200 miles ground to ground and 100 miles ground to air (TIME, Dec. 10).

But to achieve leadership, Christianity must first recapture the "spiritual iron" that the East has never lost...
...There were absorbing glimpses of malefactors from George ("Machine-Gun") Kelly to Fritz Kuhn and his Nazi German-American Bund, as well as behind-the-scenes sleuthing heroes at work in the FBI's Quantico, Va. laboratories. From secret files came a sequence of rare excitement.
