...carrying out clandestine tests. Development of tactical nuclear weapons making it possible for the U.S. to overcome Communist superiority in military manpower without resorting to mass-destruction H-bombs, has long been a hope and goal of U.S. military thinking. Former Atomic Energy Commissioner Thomas E. Murray argues that the only way the U.S. can escape from the "balance of terror" is to shift from reliance on mass-destruction H-bombs to reliance on tactical nuclear weapons. A test ban, he says, would stop development of such tactical nuclear weapons. Many earnest men who might otherwise be willing...
Like a chaperone at a high school prom, the Federal Trade Commission tapped Dancer Arthur Murray and his wife Kathryn on the shoulder last week, told them that some of their fast steps were out of line. The FTC objected particularly to the "misleading and deceptive" quizzes that it said the Murrays used to help build their $45 million-a-year business...
...often-used Murray promotion gimmick, said FTC, was to call people on the phone, give them a simple "quiz" such as: "Name two Presidents of the U.S. besides Eisenhower who were once generals."

They keep their rendezvous over martinis in the swank Clipper Club at Miami Airport or at Murray's Mau Mau Lounge in the Green Mansions Hotel, make as much as $5,000 for a Cuba flight. Typical is Arkansas-born Jack Youngblood, 29. He once flew for Castro, now claims that an anti-Castro group owes him $16,000. Romantically fond of danger, girls and uncomplicated poetry, Youngblood says: "I have no loyalties. I just work for money." Can the U.S. stop these mercenaries? The border patrol...
