...Yale in 49.7, which McCurdy called "a really outstanding indoor time." From that point on, the race was no longer in doubt, and Yale finished well ahead of the Crimson in 3:22.5. The Yale two-mile team, running without Tommy Carroll, possibly the best half-miler in the nation, and Ed Slowik, another gifted middle-distance man, still won its race in an excellent...
...before, stretched the familiar grim vista of struggle-not quite war, certainly not peace, but a course to which the U.S. had long since become accustomed. Against the standard prospect, President Eisenhower, in the budget and the Economic Report that he sent to Congress this week, stressed the nation's need to look to the health of its basic source of material strength: the U.S. economy under the free-enterprise system.

Closing out a nine-day tour that took him from Washington to six other U.S. cities. Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan last week returned to the nation's capital.

Thousands of 17-and 18-year-olds exercise their alternative right of fulfilling military obligations with...
Most of the nation was at lunch, but in their restaurants and homes Belgians fell silent as the youthful voice, how and then shaking slightly with emotion, came over the radio. Later, 4,200 miles away in Léopoldville, blacks and whites heard the same words blaring over the loudspeakers of sound trucks. Lean, spectacled King Baudouin had taken it upon himself to explain in person his government's long-awaited program to give independence to the Congo, that vast land 80 times the size of Belgium, that was once his great granduncle's personal fief.
