Schedules & Warheads. Designed around cumbersome liquid-fueled engines, Blue Streak can only be shot from complex fixed bases. As evidenced by this winter's 7,700-mile Pacific shoot, Russian rockets have proved accurate enough to knock them all out with a single barrage. What Britain needs is a highly mobile missile force that can retaliate from submarines or surface ships, railroad flatcars or truck trailers. And that is precisely what the U.S., but not Britain, can develop in time. The solid-fueled Polaris is well ahead of schedule, will be ready by 1961. Skybolt will take longer...
...Hall of Los Alamos took down his scientific hair and discussed some of the jobs that may open for nuclear reactors in the foreseeable future. Reactors are very good, he said, at generating low-cost heat, and the time may come when the world needs to conserve its remaining liquid fuel to run land and air vehicles. Then reactors can take over the job of supplying process heat (e.g., for industrial use) and space heat (e.g., for homes), which account for half the energy consumed...
While investigators began checking up on known sex offenders in the Starved Rock area, others brought heavy tanks of liquid petroleum gas into the canyon and slowly began burning away the top layer of snow. A piece of tin foil-perhaps from the fresh roll of film in the camera-turned up; the melting snow ran off to reveal blood stains. A policeman with a broom lightly swept snow from the spot in an attempt to unearth footprints. He found none. Police squads began checking reports about an auto that had been seen at the head of the trail...
Imperturbably at midweek the President flew to Florida for a tour of the Cape Canaveral missile-test center. For 3¼ hours he was led through a forest of gantries for the liquid-fueled Atlas and Titan, the solid-fueled Polaris and Pershing. He praised the base's "minimum of extravagance and maximum of efficiency," said, "I came back with a much better feeling than I had before I went down there...
...country took it big. Pro-Paar calls and wires poured into NBC headquarters. Mickey Rooney, who had only recently been involved in a liquid feud with Paar (TIME, Dec. 14), offered Jack a job in a Rooney-owned tire factory. A political-button manufacturer put aside his campaign slogans to produce a lapel ornament that read "Come Back Jack." At Bowie race track, an in-and-outer named Randy-paar, after Jack's daughter, got into the spirit of things and paid...
