Their promising candidate to succeed today's B-52 bombers: the B70 Valkyrie, an airplane that makes Buck Rogers' spaceship look like a model...
...Americans." Mingling on the dance floor of the Whisky a Gogo at Cannes or in a bull session at the University of Geneva (where less than half the students are Swiss), the new Europeans look alike, regardless of nationality.

Rough, inelegant for an Italian, Somaini produces work resembling meteorites and mountains, full of energy...
...runs-batted-in), despite a taped ankle and forearm. Although he often rode the bench when southpaws began to throw. Outfielder Duke Snider, 33, had once again found his home-run bat (23). The Dodgers were even getting mileage out of gimpy Carl Furillo, 37, who explained: "I look at the ball, and I see dollar signs instead of stitches...
