POLICE LOSING FIGHT WITH CRIME. In one issue, the News-Call Bulletin lavished 154 inches on April and subsidiary crime stories, including a map of the city with dots locating the scenes of recent crimes, grimly adorned with the Dracula-like silhouette of a criminal...
Changed Concept? Besides drawing a precision map of the solar system, Dr. Lowther's artificial planet may get a crack at even more interesting jobs. Since its orbit will be slightly but measurably disturbed by the gravitational attraction of all the other passing planets, its waverings can be used to check the mass of individual planets. It may also detect large meteors that chance to streak close by. It may point to far-out, undiscovered planets, or even to dark, invisible stars. Its most radical use, Dr. Lowther figures, will be to check the inverse-square law, which says...
...Aged Lords. Novelist Thirkell was one of the last surviving writers to play lawn tennyson. From 1932 on, she wrote a book a year, and to the great satisfaction of her readers, each year it was the same book.

Here, in a spare, map-hung office, behind an uncluttered grey desk, sits the new chief of the U.S. military mission, General Paul Donal Harkins, 57, who holds the top command in the one spot in the world where U.S. troops are involved in a shooting-if undeclared-war against Communists. Symbolic of his task are the three flags behind his desk: the U.S. Stars and Stripes, the yellow and red banner of South Viet...
