...strapping, hamhanded man with slicked-back hair and brooding mustache, Michelangeli ambled onstage with the baleful nonchalance of a boxer bent on mayhem. Once he settled at the keyboard, his touch was featherweight light, his attack crisp and restrained through Debussy's liquid Images and Beethoven's soaring Sonata in C Major (Opus 2, No. 3). After two encores and a dozen curtain calls, he unconcernedly ambled offstage to a standing ovation.

Preliminary Atomic Energy Commission investigations of Monday's shattering explosion at the Cambridge Electron Accelerator (CEA) indicate that the 95 gallons of liquid hydrogen contained in the bubble chamber were expelled safely by an emergency venting system and ignited harmlessly...

Strapped on to each side were two 85-ft. rockets, each one containing five 39-ton solid-fuel segments stacked one on top of the other. Within three-tenths of a second of ignition, the two solid-fuel boosters reached their...
