...troops work among the intricate gadgets of the Atomic Age. Near by are underground workshops, rows of air-conditioned huts, and an airstrip fit for jets. To the south is the emptiness of the Tanezrouft-the "thirst country" of the central Sahara -where France will most likely test its late starter in the atomic race: a model T bomb too big for their airplanes and too crude even to compare with recent generations of U.S., British and Russian nuclear devices. Knowing their first bomb to be primitive, the French are anxious not so much to catch up with other atomic...
Formosa. When Clerk Tsai Yung-ting awoke at 2 a.m., the rain had been falling for hours on the sleeping coastal village of Houlung.

Possibly assuming that Jack Paar sets up an audience of insomniac worriers, NBC has tacked Consult Dr. Brothers onto the end of the broadcast day (11:15 a.m.. weekdays). Dr. Joyce, who warmed up with a daytime show for a year, is the network's new way of bidding...
...translator in the weeks ahead, Dr. Brothers will discuss why men get tattooed ("an ancient symbol of manliness, used by masculine men as an amulet, or by feminine men to attract attention"), why people are late ("rebellion against authority"), why some wives are extravagant ("She really wants to be refused; she's a masochist").
