...note was calculated to force Khrushchev to make the next move, ask for a U.N. summit meeting. Macmillan's note went further; it expressed "hope" that Khrushchev would attend the U.N. Security Council, noted that it would not be the purpose of the meeting "to register differences through voting," i.e., Khrushchev would not have to pack a veto...
...company has, in Earle Hyman, Ellis Rabb and Richard Waring, the three persons that come closest to the ideal performer outlined above. These three speak Shakespearean verse best; they move best; and they are versatile (though Waring has not yet shown so wide a range as Hyman and Rabb). Richard Easton continues to do fine work, especially in comedy. And John Colicos has increased in stature since joining the company and bids fair to improve still more...
Predictable was the Soviet bloc's denunciation of the U.S. move ("shameful aggression"): the Reds were delighted to change the subject from Hungary. Also predictable was the tiresome volley of "I told you so's" that poured forth from Israel, Britain and France, from those who believed that the West's troubles would be over by now had the Suez invaders been allowed "another 48 hours" in November 1956 to topple Nasser. To allies of the West, such as Turkey and Iran, one undeniable gain of the week's events was the fact that this time...
...Butler III has made it his six-day-a-week job to increase the institute's indispensability to Youngstown. He stepped up buying for the collection, launched the midsummer annual. One early move was to rescind his grandfather's rule of no smoking in the galleries, thus bring back the Buckeye Club, a group of Sunday painters who now meet regularly at the institute to criticize one another's paintings. Last year more than 40,000 Youngstowners crossed the threshold, and Butler feels that his museum is booming. Of this year's exhibition he says with...
Light Molecules. The simplest kind of atomic engine uses a nuclear reactor to heat a gaseous propellant and shoot it out of a nozzle. Its chief advantage over chemical rocket engines: its propellant can be liquid hydrogen, whose molecules are light and therefore move faster at a given temperature. The best possible chemical combination (hydrogen and ozone), burning at 5,000° F. and 500 lbs.-per-sq.-in. chamber pressure, gives an exhaust velocity of 13,000 ft. per sec. A nuclear rocket, using hydrogen at the same pressure and only 3,000° F., shoots...
