Robertson's hand-picked successor: his Deputy Assistant Secretary James Graham Parsons, 51, Groton and Yale ('29). "Jeff" Parsons, onetime protégé of farsightedly anti-Communist Ambassador to Japan Joseph Grew, is a Foreign Service officer who served ably as deputy chief of Mission to Japan (1953-56), as U.S. Ambassador to Laos (1956-58), and sees eye to eye with Virginia-bound Walter Spencer Robertson on the need to base policy on the principle-proved correct again in Tibet-that Red China is "the enemy...
Major General Bernard Schriever, 48, who organized and built up the Air Force's Ballistic Missile Division, will get a third star and be named chief of the Air Research and Development Command, B.M.D.'s parent group. German-born Ben Schriever (TIME, cover. April 1, 1957) grew up in Texas, took an engineering degree at Texas A. & M., got his wings in 1933. He worked as a test pilot, studied at Wright Field's Air Corps Engineering School, took time out to get a master's degree in mechanical engineering at Stanford University...
Amirouche lived in the field with his guerrillas, seldom slept in one place for more than a few hours, eluded French patrols time and again with lightning mobility. As his legend grew, so did his delight in his own prowess. He affected strange headgear, often of black astrakhan, and gripped his men in a discipline of iron.

Yet sometimes, with shrewd compassion, Amirouche released kidnaped French settlers after a lecture on nationalism...
After long months of tolerance, the House Patronage Committee grew weary of the lowly paper-folder on the House office staff (salary: $4,000 a year) who had been eased onto the payroll by Pennsylvania's late, sympathetic Democrat Herman Eberharter. With little ado, the committee decided that the nation could henceforth do without the services of brassy John Maragon, 65, onetime Kansas City bootblack, who connived his way to a reputation as one of the Truman era's sleaziest five-percenters...
...side, prayer against growth to the other. Result: "Sixteen sturdy little seedlings greeted us on the positive side. On the negative side there was but one." Against that stubborn seedling the experimenters directed "several brief 'bursts' of negation-strong mental commands to grow no more . . . and it grew no more. The top of it darkened and withered and it remained in the stunted, non-growing condition. No more seedlings appeared on the negated side, though we held the experiment open for 20 days before digging, photographing and measuring each seed. Later one of the mathematicians on Dr. Rhine...
