...books, Paul Mandel's Main-side, a skilled first novel set at a Florida naval air station, and Stanley Ellin's The Panama Portrait, which takes place on an island off South America, illustrate just how far-flung fictional organization men are becoming...
...dining room while parents are busy elsewhere. Staid Boston is building the Fenway Commonwealth, a six-story, Continental-flavor motel with reproductions of Italian provincial furniture and atmosphere built into the walls. At the Ocean-House Motel in San Diego, waiters are dressed in 17th century costumes as British naval officers, and macaws shrill from cages as guests swim in one of the largest pools in Southern California.

Ability Pinpointed. With hefty support from the U.S. Office of Education, the National Institute of Mental Health, the Office of Naval Research and the National Science Foundation TALENT has already tested 440,000 high school students -one out of every 20 in the U.S.-and begun tracking their career orbits for the next 25 years. The purpose is to pinpoint the students' abilities, trace the impact (or nonimpact) of U.S. education on their development, and follow their failures and successes through the 19805. Last week Flanagan issued the first of many progress reports: Design for a Study of American...
...Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, scientists have been bombarding archaeological finds with neutrons. Elements in pieces of pottery, for example, are thus made temporarily radioactive; and by observing their radioactivity scientists are able to identify them down to the tiny traces of rare elements. At Oxford and the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, physicists have bombarded archaeological specimens with electrons, causing the specimens to give off X rays. By running a spectrum analysis on the X rays, the physicists are able to determine just what the specimens are made of. X-ray analysis has already allowed the Oxford researchers...
Ostensibly to discourage Soviet propaganda ships from using the same trick, Parliament made it a crime for Swedes to supply ships such as Bon Jour with either naval stores or advertising copy. Cut off from both necessities, Thompson hauled down his flag. Two other radio ships were also affected. One of them gave up. But the owner of the third, Mrs. Britt Wadner, said defiantly that she had three months' supplies of stores and commercials, would keep on broadcasting...
