...People's Army of 110,000 equipped with tanks and artillery. Backing up these regulars are the 300,000 members of factory "fighting groups"-hard-core Communists equipped with infantry weapons and trained specifically to aid regular forces in case of an uprising. Should all these home-grown forces fail or defect, as was the case in Hungary, there remains the formidable Russian army in East Germany. 350,000 to 400,000 strong. Last week these forces got a new commander experienced in quelling popular uprisings: much-decorated Marshal Ivan S. Konev, who, as boss of all Warsaw Pact...
...schism had been long in the making. For years, Nasser had been jailing home-grown Communists-even while toasting Soviet dignitaries and signing new trade pacts with the Communist bloc. He has effectively purged them from the government, the press, the schools. Khrushchev's flirtation with Arab nationalism seemed to have come to nothing but a costly flop, and he was under pressure from the Red Chinese, who condemned aid to Nasser as an "opportunistic error...
Florida has plenty of home-grown industry as well, ranging from fashions to phosphates, from oranges to oysters (which are having one of their best years). Florida's oranges, grapefruit, tangerines and limes, and its fresh and frozen orange juice account for 65% of the U.S. citrus crop, a third of the world crop. Frozen juice has added stability to the business, eases the sharp ups and downs caused by whimsical weather. Oranges have become such a good investment that one enterprising developer is selling plots in groves that he will manage much like a mutual fund, planting orange...
...Communist Boss Walter Ulbricht himself. Jeering at West German airlines for buying foreign planes, the East Germans poured $150 million into outfitting six plants, which at their peak employed some 26,000 workers turning out Russian null In 1959, with much fanfare, the East Germans brought out their new, home-grown 66-152 turbojet airliner. The first 86-152 prototype crashed on its maiden flight-a disaster that was officially attributed to "sabotage" by Designer Manfred Gerlach (TIME, Sept. 12). While other engineers have been trying to get the bugs out of the BB-152-II, the aircraft plants have...
Anna Moffo Arias (Rome Opera House Orchestra, conducted by Tullio Serafin; RCA Victor). One of the youngest (25) and most gifted of the new generation of home-grown U.S. divas visits some familiar operatic landmarks, examining them with taste, agility and dramatic flair. The voice-silvery in the upper registers, amber in the lower-has rarely sounded surer...
