...fifth session of the sergeants' slow-motion trial, the prosecution, after a month of stalling, finally produced its star witness, Mrs. Sukran Gall, Turkish-born wife of a U.S. electrician. Admitting that she had been employed by the Turkish treasury to entrap the Americans, Mrs. Gall testified that she had bought nearly 5,000 illicit dollars from three of the sergeants. But under questioning she admitted she had never, in fact, received any money directly from the sergeants, instead had dealt through the Turkish manager of the N.C.O. club maintained by U.S. forces assigned to NATO's southeastern...
...clear that the departure was no retreat. "I'm a vindicated prophet without the grace to die," said Ashmore, taking note of this fall's token integration in Little Rock high schools. Said Heiskell: "His decision to accept the position actually was delayed on his own motion for more than a year because of the school situation here." Long associated with Fund for Republic programs, Ashmore in his new job will join a group of scholars and experts, e.g., former Assistant Secretary of State A. A. Berle Jr., Columbia University's famed physicist I. Rabi...
Although the earth's magnetic field is still something of a mystery, most geophysicists think it is caused by motion of the liquid metal core of the earth's interior. The University of Chicago's Astronomer Gerard Kuiper reasons that if the moon has no magnetic field, it cannot have a liquid core. The Russian observation, he says, backs up his belief that the moon was formed at the same time as the earth, but since it is much smaller, its metal core has cooled off and solidified. Other moon experts are not so sure. Nobel Prizewinner...
Only a short boat ride from his experimental summer house is one of Aalto's favorite projects-the small town hall for Saynatsalo (pop. 3,000). "I wanted to make it a town center, a building that would gather in people," Aalto explains, making a gathering-in motion with his arms, "so I put the garden inside, and then the inside is no longer neutral. I lifted the building up to make a vertical difference between the traffic in the street and the people meeting inside. The street is full of the gases of automobiles. We lift...
...This Is It." Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the Corvair is the way Cole designed it and sold the idea to General Motors. He put the Corvair wheels in motion way back in 1952, a most unlikely time. Detroit then was riding a crest of chrome, and it looked as if anyone who bucked the trend to bigness would get honked right out of the industry. Henry Kaiser's chromeless little Henry J. was a flop. Romney's Ramblers were losing money. Just a few years before, Chevy had started to tool for a compact model...
