...heard some pretty wild ideas from educational reformers, but not many have gone so far as the school-architecture firm of Caudill, Rowlett, Scott & Associates of Bryan, Texas. One of the top firms of its kind in the U.S., Caudill & Co. describes in the current School Executive a model school which, however exciting architecturally, would make U.S. education all but unrecognizable...
...Architects. Two dedicated men deserve most of the credit for the Common Market scheme. The idea was born to France's Europe-minded planner, Jean Monnet, who keeps a model of the Kon-Tiki on his desk as a symbol of those who take brave risks to prove an idea in the face of skepticism and indifference. The other man is NATO's newly chosen Secretary-General, Paul-Henri Spaak of Belgium, who has presided over the interminable treaty negotiations in Brussels.

Steelmakers still estimate that they will operate close to capacity in the first half of 1957, then level off to 85% in the second half, when plants slow down for vacations and Detroit closes for model changeovers. That would add up to a record 120 million-ton year.

...economical diesel itself. The Union Pacific was the first U.S. road to put to use a giant gas-turbine locomotive that burns a cheap grade of fuel oil, and can haul maximum-length freights (120 cars) at 65 m.p.h. Next year the Union Pacific will try out a newer model, which it hopes will burn an even cheaper fuel-powdered coal. Such roads as the Denver & Rio Grande Western are looking even farther ahead. Its staff of scientists has already developed an atomic signal lamp that will stay bright for twelve years by using radioactive isotopes, is also at work...
