...first, A.R.S. hoped to make hobby rocketry safe by expert supervision, asked scientists and military men to help the amateurs. But now it thinks rockets are best left alone altogether. The game has grown too big and too dangerous. All told, says A.R.S., some 10,000 amateurs are fiddling around with rockets today. During a sample six-week period, 162 of them were seriously injured. At that rate, a teen-age rocketeer has one chance in seven of getting hurt each year...
...Elmer J. F. Arndt, professor of historical theology and Christian ethics at E. & R. Eden Theological Seminary in Webster Groves, Mo. Said Arndt: "We wanted a statement that was genuinely Biblical, that was expressed in the words of our time, and that had the form and character to make it suitable for liturgical use. We found our efforts always turned out to be patterned on the Apostles' Creed: first we talk about God, the Creator and Father, then about the Son, and next about the Holy Spirit . . .

Before and during the ten long weeks of marathon bargaining, President Eisenhower had warned both management and labor not to make an inflationary settlement, i.e., one in which wage increases would be so big that they would force price increases.

Such an exchange, the industry figured, would not boost overall payroll costs, thus causing a rise in steel prices. But the union rejected the swap, arguing that management's talk of featherbedding was "pure, unadulterated bunk...
Give & Take. A sinewy (6 ft., 175 Ibs.), hard-muscled man with a slightly bulbous nose and brown hair etched with grey, Blough had not only devised the industry's new policy but would have the most say in whatever settlement the steel industry would make. He is no rough-and-tumble, up-from-the-mill steelman but a lawyer who got into steel via a Wall Street firm, thoroughly learned the business by hard-slogging homework...
