Just as casual, just as relaxed, was U.S. Diplomat Harold Stassen as he strode around London and Paris last week. His job was to negotiate some sort of agreement with the Russians on disarmament, so that A-bombs, H-bombs and intercontinental ballistic missiles in Florida might some day become less necessary. Europe's headlines followed him about in friendly fashion ("OUTLOOK-PEACEFUL"). Even his colleagues in Washington-long put out because of his passion for headlines- were now looking upon him with a less jaundiced eye. Harold Stassen was keeping a tight lip and competently going about negotiations...
...restrictions than trade with Russia. Only Turkey, of all the 15 nations comprising CHIN-COM (the voluntary committee founded during the Korean war to coordinate a selective embargo on Red China) supported the U.S. insistence that the "China differential" should be maintained. At Bermuda two months ago Prime Minister Harold Macmillan had warned Eisenhower that if the U.S. did not agree to major easements, the British government would be forced to "go it alone...
...contingent of U.S. golfers entered in the British Amateur championship was one of the weakest in years, and U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant Harold Ridgley was considered one of the weakest of the lot.

When he finished the semifinal round last week, just about every spectator on the course was ready to concede him the title...
...confession and conversion should not be lumped, that confessions involve different emotional mechanisms. (Another distinction: confessions and temporary conversions are common and easily obtained; true, long-lasting conversions are difficult and more rare.) An exhaustive study for the U.S. Department of Defense by Manhattan Drs. Lawrence E. Hinkle and Harold G. Wolff-based on hundreds of intensive studies of escaped and repatriated prisoners from Eastern Europe and China and with former Red inquisitors who have "come over"-showed that modern techniques of political persuasion behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains are simply an extension of time-honored methods used...
Both physicists and biologists emphasize that too little is known to support hard-and-fast judgments. Dr. Harold A. Thomas Jr., Harvard professor of civil and sanitary engineering, who has worked for eight years with the AEC on safe disposal of radioactive wastes, says the field is full of mysteries and surprises. "We are concerned about strontium 90," he says, "but there are many other [fallout] materials whose effects are almost totally unknown." He suggests being more careful...
