...York's Idlewild Airport last week, a trim, white-painted jetliner, smaller than the familiar Boeing 7075 and Douglas DC-8s. roared off the runway and headed south on Delta Air Lines Flight 873 to New Orleans. In 2 hr. 19 min., the jet touched down at New Orleans' Moisant International Airport, loaded another batch of passengers, and whistled back to New York in 2 hr. 10 min. Both flights, at speeds up to 593 m.p.h., set new commercial records for the 1,184-mile run and sent the nation's newest jetliner off to a high...
Before inviting Morpheus home for the night. Ev Dirksen. Lyndon Johnson & Co. had much more to do. Dick Russell's determined Southerners seemed prepared to filibuster for at least another week; they had already broken the 1954 high mark (of 85 hr. 23 min.) by rattling off about 1,000,000 words in no less than 125 hr. 31 min.

Furthermore, Actor Shimura, though at moments transcendently right and revealing, rather too continuously resembles a Japanese Jiggs who has just been beaned by the eternal rolling pin and is about to say tweet-tweet. But the minor actors are often...
...bathyscaph Trieste reached its goal last week: the bottom of the Marianas Trench, which is believed to be the deepest place in all the world's oceans. Manned by Jacques Piccard, son of the bathyscaph's inventor, Auguste Piccard, and Lieut. Don Walsh, the Trieste took 4 hr. 48 min. to settle slowly down to the Pacific Ocean's bottom, landing gently on soft silt that billowed up and looked like dust clouds when the lights were turned on. When the clouds cleared, Piccard and Walsh could see living creatures that moved unbothered by the pressure...
