...receive reports but could not seek facts on its own initiative (TIME, Sept. 21). Predictably, in its 32-page report to the Security Council last week, the U.N. team found plenty of evidence that the kingdom of Laos' fevers were Communist-caused, but no hard proof on the key issue of direct aggression...

...key issue has turned out to be not wage increases but work rules. The companies say they wish to eliminate featherbedding, have a free hand in introducing automation, and, in short, exercise the administrative prerogatives they believe belong to management.

As for the general management desire to regain more control over work rules, most unionists feel that this is a reaction...
This year's Nobel Prize in physics (worth $42,606) went last week to two professors of the University of California at Berkeley, Emilio Segre, 54, and Owen Chamberlain, 39. In 1955 they headed a team that found the long-sought antiprotons, key particles of the stranger-than-fiction world of antimatter (TIME, Oct. 31, 1955 et seq.). Antiprotons, which the Segre-Chamberlain team identified in a beam of subatomic debris created by Berkeley's 6.2-billion-volt bevatron, have the mass of ordinary protons but carry negative electric charges instead of positive charges. When a proton hits...

The Commerce Department estimated that the rate of the gross national product dropped $3.5 billion in the third quarter. An index of the eight key economic barometers fell farther in the first three months of the strike than during the first three months of the 1957 recession. The U.S. faced widespread shutdowns in industries that depend on the basic metal...
