...Russia has available, it remains dangerously inadequate. More important, the roll call of Allied "reserves" is woefully short. Some 20 reserve divisions exist in embryo, but few would be ready for action within the 30-day mobilization period specified by NATO.

At week's end, Atlas Corp.'s President Floyd Odium, who sold RKO to Howard Hughes in the first place, also got into the act. He said he was looking into...
...guns went off again. Some of the high scorers of the day: Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands (132 birds), the Duke of Edinburgh (103), President Auriol (61). Following the morning's activity, lunch was served to the guests, including Queen Juliana, U.S. Ambassador James Dunn, SHAPE'S Matthew B. Ridgway, France's Premier Antoine Pinay. In the early afternoon gamekeepers returned to the morning's shooting grounds with bags of grain for the pheasants that had survived...
