...start of the week, in the heat of its own fury, the Egyptian government ordered four ships loading cotton for Britain to discharge their cargoes, in reprisal for Britain's freezing of Egypt's sterling assets. In a speech to students training to fight for an Egyptian Suez, Nasser jeered at the expropriated company as "an instrument of imperialism . . . formed by a number of French counts and unemployed Englishmen," and shouted that if the British tried to return, "we know how to repel pirates." Hours later, calming down a little, the government ordered the British cotton loaded again...
...Stand Still. When they swarmed over the X2, engineers found welcome news. Made of heat-resistant stainless steel and nickel alloy with a specially tempered windshield designed to withstand 1,000° F. temperatures, the X-2 was built to probe the "thermal thicket" of supersonic speeds where the heat generated by friction with the atmosphere can turn metal into putty. But there were no thorns in the thicket for the X2. She was untouched...
...Olympic team, a bad break stopped him once more. He suffered leg cramps, was roundly beaten, and missed making the passenger list for Melbourne.

Next day, in another heat, U.S. Army Pfc. Ira Murchison, a sprinter who had made the Olympics team, equaled Willie's performance. But Willie had already demonstrated that he is at least as good as the best. In the finals, he showed that he is probably better.

Morgan (Wed. and Fri. 7:30 p.m., E.D.T.), a pretty blonde aided by a quartet of brothers, is easy to look at, but her singing and performing are harder to take. CBS's Vic Damone Show (Mon. 9:30 p.m., E.D.T.) and Russ Morgan Show (Sat. 9:30 p.m., E.D.T.) and NBC's Snooky Lanson (Tues. and Thurs. 7:30 p.m., E.D.T.) are purely routine musical variety shows, but Russ Morgan has the edge because...
