...produced The Deaf Heart (TIME. Nov. 4), a striking first script by a highly promising 29-year-old playwright named Mayo Simon, but nobody seems to know whether he can ride or shoot. Of the new situation comedies, only Leave It to Beaver (see below) has taken fire. Among minor new wrinkles: ABC's All-Star Golf (TIME, Dec. 23), a tournament played just for viewers; a vogue for old horror movies; the bold, brash (though often anticlimactic) interviews of Mike Wallace...
...arrived in Hollywood to start shooting, she was as broad as ever. Furthermore, she was dressed like a middle-aged Central European frump. Her frocks were all in the height of Paris fashion-most of them made by Dior-but she had not bothered to take care of one minor detail: none of them had been properly fitted...
Even under the new theory, the earth's upper atmosphere is still nearly a vacuum. Rocketeers and missilemen, whose vehicles travel through this area at tremendous speeds, probably will have to make only minor adjustments in their plans. But if the Smithsonian's finding checks out, the perigee (minimum orbital altitude) for a long-lived satellite will have to be raised from 140 miles to 180 miles because of the decelerating drag of air particles at the lower altitude. Anticipated perigee for Vanguard: a safe 200 miles. Scientists at Washington's Carnegie Institution are still puzzling over...
...form a table of the lunar cycles from which Easter and the movable Feast Days can be determined for any given year. Below are delightful vignettes of contemporary 16th century life, showing cardplaying in winter, early planting in March, harvest in July and cattle-slaughtering in October. Although a minor art, such miniature scenes are precious records of everyday secular life over the changing seasons. As such, it pushed forth a hardy sprout in succeeding centuries, blossoming into the full-scale landscapes and genre scenes that along with classical allegory and religious painting became the central concern of later artists...
...correspondents from 38 countries who packed into Paris last week, no story of the NATO conference was followed more avidly than President Eisenhower's health. News-starved reporters based endless prognostications on Ike's posture and color, analyzed his inflections with elocutionary zeal. With every minor schedule change came a new flock of rumors; the evening that Ike canceled his appearance at the initial NATO banquet, Paris-Presse reported breathlessly that he had brought along his oxygen tent. To scuttle the scuttlebutt, White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty opened his thrice-daily press conference to the whole...
