...that fine income, Hialeah Gardens was unhappy-and last week it sprang its own trap. A reform ticket, voted in by 72-6, took over the government, with the new mayor, grey-haired Mrs. Hazel Shattock, pledged to abolish the speed trap. Major reason for the change: the people of Hialeah Gardens had seen hardly a penny of the speed-trap collections. Most of the money had gone toward a new jail, the cost of keeping traffic records, and ever-new, always souped-up patrol cars...
This was no tribute to the country doctor, but an ode to the disk jockey-the grey-flannelmouth who has all but swallowed up U.S. radio. It was the keynote of the first national convention of pop-music disk jockeys, sponsored in Kansas City, Mo. by young (33) Radio Chain Boss Todd Storz (TIME, June...
...assigned to study the air-breathing missile. Another group runs a test on an 80-ft.-high telemetry antenna whose dish spreads 60 ft. wide. At the Cape fire station, the crew gets a lecture in handling fires that might break out in the unearthly, exotic fuels. In a grey and silver building, one man takes charge of 53 spools of colored wire used to maintain the big IBM 704 impact predictor computer.

In bars (where only foreigners and party bureaucrats have cash enough to drink regularly) U.S.-make jukeboxes squawk the raucous normalcy of rock 'n' roll.

His crimes: he has a young relative who is studying to be a priest, and he has been observed chatting with foreigners in scraps of languages picked up when he worked abroad years ago. He is deported to his native village...
...nearly $4,000,000 for a new wing-if the sum could be matched by private subscription. To Director Milliken's delight, more money than was needed came rolling in. Closing the museum for eleven months, the trustees added a U-shaped wing in red and grey granite, enclosing a landscaped sculpture court and pool. But the real novelty is the wing's intimate, informal interior. The corps of guards has been cut down (and an inconspicuous system of 33 slowly pivoting closed-circuit TV cameras substituted). Said Boston Director Perry Rathbone: "It reminded us of the atmosphere...
