Moscow's bang sent shudders down millions of spines. For months Nikita Khrushchev had vowed not to resume unilateral nuclear testing, paying lip service to scientists and humanitarians who feared pollution of the earth's atmosphere, assuring the nervous neutrals that only the warmongering West wanted to resume testing, feigning loyalty to the long, tedious test-ban negotiations in Geneva, where the painful quest for the first step toward effective world arms control droned...

For the pizazz lover, Ford will bring out, in addition to its regular four-seater Thunderbird, a Thunderbird sports roadster. Equipped with wire wheels and a dashboard "assist bar" for nervous passengers to hang on to, the new Thunderbird can be converted into a pseudo two-seater by slipping a fiber-glass tonneau cover over the back seat.

Poor child, she hasn't had an easy life: a divorce in the family, a fall from a horse, nine years of physical limitation and nervous debility. Then suddenly her mother's death, and now an anxious new beginning in her father's house. Odd, come to think of it, that her father isn't there to meet her, but then of course business is business, and no doubt he will be back...
