...reverberations of Sunday's palace coup echo through the streets of Buenos Aires, the shouts of students are undoubtedly among the loudest voices supporting the democratic elements which replaced General Lonardi's provisional government.

...Conscience & Repute. The name indelibly stamped on this victory is that of Thurgood Marshall, 47, counsel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

...While the political argument about the Dixon-Yates power contract yowled on, with Tennessee's White House-bent Senator Estes Kefauver making the loudest noises, the Senate passed the bill to appropriate $6,500,000 for construction of transmission lines into Memphis from the site of the proposed Dixon-Yates plant.

United Aircraft Corp., producer of the biggest, most powerful and presumably loudest jet engine, the Pratt & Whitney J-57, is working on ways to reduce its roar to a tolerable level.

The big stream that shoots from the tailpipe of a jet engine stirs up a lot of low-frequency sound that carries for miles as a thunderous roar. Small gas streams...
...loudest promises of TV wonders to come were heard from NBC. The network promised more than 75 Spectacular-sized shows, almost twice the number of Spectaculars (39) that it produced during the past season. Among the wonders: a repeat of last season's successful Peter Pan; a two-hour telecast of Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth, starring Mary Martin and Helen Hayes; a musical version of the Pulitzer Prize play Our Town, starring Frank Sinatra; a series of one-and-a-half-hour Sunday afternoon productions of Shakespeare's plays, starring Maurice Evans...
