Prowling the uneasy aerial no man's land between East and West one clear day last week, a U.S. Navy P4M Mercator patrol plane lumbered along at 7,000 ft. above the Sea of Japan, 55 nautical miles east of the North Korean coast. A few minutes after noon, Tail Gunner Donald E. Corder, 20, aviation electrician's mate, spotted two red-starred MIGs, already boring down in a gunnery run on the Mercator.

...Tokyo and learned the embarrassing truth: the Mercator lacked no parts. Its nose and top guns had been dismantled to make room for top-secret radar and infra-red gear, used in mapping and aerial photography. And the damaged Mercator was returning from a reconnaissance mission along the North Korean coast when it was fired upon...
...duty of U.S. forces to keep track of the relentless Communist buildup at key Asian jumping-off points. The Mercator's flight was part of the hazardous duty that crewmen long ago came to accept as normal in the Asian aerial no man's land.

...have left the country some of its most stunning pictorial records: George Strock's heart-stopping World War II scene of a dead American soldier on Buna Beach in New Guinea, Bob Landry's slinky wartime pinup of Rita Hay worth (reprinted 60 million times), the distinguished Korean war photographs of Hank Walker and John Dominis. Today, Fremont High is still turning out expert Bach graduates. But fewer are able to cash in on Bach's training: the school has become predominantly Negro, and Teacher Bach confronts a color line (though it is steadily receding) when...
...Class of '59 is one of a series of increasingly more academically proficient Harvard classes, a trend that has become quite noticeable since the Korean War. The Class of '59 does not differ markedly from the classes immediately preceding or following it. Thus, one would not expect the post-graduation plans of the Class of '59 to differ markedly either. On the basis of a 73 per cent return in a study of the immediate plans of the Class of '59 the following break-down is reported: 15 per cent plan to get a job, 7 percent plan to travel...
