...Radcliffe head resident began the book during her fifth and most recent trip to the Dark Continent in 1952, when she wrote political analyses for the Christian Science Monitor and the Atlantic Monthly...
Wright Patman, nursing (as the Christian Science Monitor noted) "an old-fashioned Populist's suspicion of Eastern bankers," unloosed the first salvo. Opening a subcommittee inquiry into U.S. monetary policy, Patman explained that the hearings were justified by "the danger that the tight money policy may wreck the economy." He attacked the Federal Reserve Board for raising its discount rate (i.e., the fee charged by the Federal Reserve system on loans to member banks) from i^% to 3% over the last 20 months (TIME, Sept. 10).

Designed and built by the Raytheon Manufacturing Co., the new installations will each use a mammoth 40-ft. antenna and will be able to feed up to 15 monitor screens simultaneously. Among their other refinements: an appreciable decrease in the "clutter" which plagues much radar during rainy weather; a filtering system which cuts out reflections from fixed objects, thus registering only moving objects; electronically generated maps, which can be superimposed on the radarscope for immediate identification of the territory over which...
