...statistics may not reflect it so promptly; for a time, they may actually rise, for one of the effects of stepped-up education on the subject may well be a lifting of taboos, hence more truthful death certificates. But it is certain that in the future the "cry for help" will be far better heard and far more sympathetically attended to than it has ever been...
Though meteorologists now know enough about tornadoes to predict with reasonable accuracy when they are likely to occur, they are powerless to prevent the deadly funnels from forming and cutting their swaths of destruction. Help may be on its way. A NASA scientist has conducted laboratory tests suggesting that tornadoes are electrically driven phenomena that can be dissipated simply by shorting them...
Working the Record. From the way help is arriving, the Renaissance belongs to everyone. Spontaneously, a Committee to Rescue Italian Art (CRIA) was set up in the U.S. by museums and college art departments, with Jacqueline Kennedy as its active president.

One California art historian, Eve Borsook of Pasadena, who rescued 130,000 negatives of art objects from the Uffizi, rushed them to Harvard's Villa...

After ABC bought rights to Columbia's The Bridge on the River Kwai for $2,000,000 and scored a ratings blitz, the networks were convinced, if they had had any doubt before. Within days, three studios had been paid $92,500,000 for 118 films. Among...
