...Dollars Be Damned." With these explanatory words spoken, the Administration moved swiftly in other directions. The National Security Council met with a portentous array of high administrative brass and came to a quick conclusion. As a result, Dwight Eisenhower ordered an urgent and immediate review of the nation's missile program by Defense Secretary Neil McElroy, just sworn into office the day before...
Elizabeth, captive of tradition and training, could not have established this cordial atmosphere alone. Like all royal children before her, she was sheltered from childhood from the outside world, rarely met any commoner who was not a servant, was spared the experience of school .by a succession of royal tutors. But Philip, a relatively impoverished princeling, was reared like a commoner, has washed dishes, fired boilers, even played on a skittles team organized by the owner of a local pub.

When the University of North Carolina met the University of Miami at the Orange Bowl last week, the central question was: Which coach would outguess the other? "Miami runs like hell, and they may pass, too. I don't know what to do," moaned North Carolina Coach Jim Tatum. Big Jim even telephoned to Georgia Tech's clever coach. Bobby Dodd, for some last-minute advice. "Tighten up the middle if you want to stop Miami's power," Dodd warned him. Concluded...
