Despite the obstacles of missing records and feeble memories, the committee doggedly piled up in its first round of hearings in 1957 a record gamy enough to persuade the A.F.L.-C.I.O. to expel the Teamsters Brotherhood from the united labor movement. Since then, the committee has uncovered a lot more of the Hoffa record. At one point during the hearings.

Oceanographers and marine biologists are studying the effects wrought on the radioactive graveyards by such phenomena as bottom currents, movement of bottom sediment and the upwelling of bottom waters. AEC is also concerned about such future needs as a program of international coordination (Britain now pumps its low-energy atomic garbage through a pipe into the Irish Sea) and the radioactivity that will remain in the oceans in the wake...
Alexander Calder's coat-hanger agglomerations of free forms twist and bob lazily on the breeze, exploit the possibilities for chance movement that reside in lightly balanced equilibriums. Lye's idea is to exploit instead the resiliences of high-tempered steels and flexible plastics. He raises simple abstract constructions of such materials on pedestals containing silent motor-vibrators. At a taped signal, the motors go into action, moving first slowly, then faster in a carefully calculated cycle, and the sculptures begin taking shape upon...

Drawing a parallel to the 1955 recovery, when prices held steady, the bank suggests that prices may follow a similar pattern in the second half, then show a broad upward movement in 1960, as prices...
