Confined to the prison hospital on a liquid diet prescribed by his physician, Russell issued a gloomy statement: "I am to be silenced for a time, perhaps forever, for who can tell how soon the great massacre will take place?" Fellow Prisoner Arnold Wesker, one of Britain's more promising and depressing new playwrights (Roots, Chicken Soup with Barley), was less pessimistic. Sentenced to one month, Wesker asked for and received pencils, paper and a partly finished manuscript. His request for a typewriter and secretary as well was turned down...
...Atlas liquid-fuel rocket that put the capsule in orbit had been a cause of concern in Project Mercury because of two disastrous earlier failures. But last week's Atlas was beefed up for its job, and it performed perfectly; the MA4 accelerated surely into its planned orbit. Strapped in the capsule instead of a man sat an oblong box that performed most of an astronaut's functions: it consumed oxygen, excreted carbon dioxide and water vapor, and it also talked-feeding the recorded voice of NASA Communications Engineer Howard Kyle into a microphone to test the Mercury...
...weighty one: Frank Sinatra's Clan. As panelists, Susskind invited some celebrated tosspots, including Jackie Gleason, Joe E. Lewis, Toots Shor and Actress Lenore Lemmon.

Braque's finest works; both have musical instruments as their theme, but they also undertake to show the instruments' rhythms. Robert Delaunay's Eiffel Tower is cubism at its most liquid, as if it were a scene reflected in a pool of troubled water, A few feet away, Delaunay uses powerful swirls of clashing colors to prove that "color alone is both form and subject." Rousseau was never more endearing than in his Artillerymen, who are all stiffly lined up as in a regimental photograph. And Marc Chagall was never more touching and imaginative than...
...their way. At the concreted entrance tower, 13 steps spiral downward to a portal and a blastproof revolving door. Behind the door, 69 steps drop underground to a cool, yellow-painted steel tunnel 1,687 ft. long and lined with cables, pipes and tanks for water, diesel fuel and liquid oxygen...
