Against the somber background of international crisis, economic recession and strident politics, the world got a breathtaking glimpse of a bright and shining future. Reported a joint announcement by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and Britain's Atomic Energy Authority: scientists in both countries have come close to achieving in the laboratory the energy-releasing atomic fusion that produces the radiance of the sun-the same fusion that, man-made but uncontrolled, provides the vast destructive might of H-bombs (see SCIENCE). Wrapped up in the scientific terminology was the prospect that mankind will one day be able...
From West Pointer Clay, 60, now board chairman of Continental Can Co., came an old soldier's plea for a more unified military command, rooted in a strong Defense Secretary and bolstered by a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff with sole military authority for decisions. Today's Joint Chiefs setup, said Clay, is "just another committee." Clay also added his vote to those (notably members of the Rockefeller Report panel) who have been demanding a setup whereby senior officers would belong to the same service, wear the same uniform and stand above interservice rivalries...
Doubts & Bucks. It remained for the U.S. top military man to turn the tables and question whether alarmist testimony might not be doing U.S. defenses more harm than good.

But "It is important that we realize, at home and abroad, that we are not-today-in my judgment, in a position of inferior military strength vis-á-vis the Soviet Union...
With this example of cooperation began the International Geophysical Year (July 1, 1957-Dec. 31, 1958), a joint effort by all the world's scientists to benefit all the world. Last week in Science, U.S. IGY Director Hugh Odishaw made an interim report on U.S. participation in the 67-country effort to study man's planet. Some of the high spots...
What is needed even more than an improvement in basic indexes is the integration of all the indexes into one overall, up-to-date index that could tell economists at a glance where the economy stands. Last fall the Joint Economic Committee recommended such an index, but Congress must first appropriate money to improve existing indexes. Until some overall measure of the economy's health is worked out, the Government will find the job of managing the economy by credit and other fiscal tools harder than it should be, for present indicators do not give enough facts on where...
