...thrust of 7,500 Ibs. The engines may even be used as secondary power sources to give an extra 15,000 Ibs. of thrust to the B-52 on takeoff. The Hound Dogs do not interfere with the B-52's normal H-bomb load; each missile simply adds a one-megaton hydrogen punch and an extra reach that combine to make a single B-52 the mightiest weapon ever seen...
...Supreme Court of the U.S. overworked? By many an outsider's accounting, it is woefully burdened with an ever-mounting case load. But last week a veteran insider, Associate Justice William O. Douglas, offered a dissenting opinion. Speaking at the Cornell University Law School, Douglas said: "I don't recall any time in my 20 years or more of service on the court when we had more time for research, deliberation, debate and meditation."

Time and again Presnell produces a moment of ulcer-perforating tension-deeper and deeper the pitchfork slashes into a load of garbage that conceals the tender bodies of nine children.

At dedication ceremonies last week, Rear Admiral William F. ("Red") Raborn, chief of the Polaris project, looked confidently beyond the Polaris' 1,200-mile range of 1960, predicted a 1,500-mile...
Critic Clifton Fadiman, the Schweppes-man of belles-lettres, thinks that everyone's mind is dreadfully underdeveloped. He is right, of course. A load of guilt equivalent to the combined weight of Dr. Eliot and his "Five-Foot Shelf" rests upon nearly all college-exposed Americans, by whom too many of the great books are unread or unremembered...
