This year it was the "impressionistic" doorbell-ringer Samuel Lubell (TIME, Oct. 15), who climbed farthest out on the limb. While making no percentage predictions, he correctly forecast an Ike landslide and added that Ike would take all the big industrial states. Moreover he pinpointed the newest political trend: the breakup of the former Democratic majorities in the nation's big cities. But Gallup and Roper hit as close to perfection as anybody could reasonably expect. In their final forecasts, published just before Election Day, the Big Two had Ike landsliding with 59.5% (Gallup) and 60% (Roper). Actual...
Thus far, miniaturization's greatest advances have been the result of military necessity. "Without miniaturization," says Rear Admiral Rawson Bennett, Chief of Naval Research, "much of the electronics equipment now in ships and planes and many of the Navy's newest weapons would be impossible." Miniaturized computers, radar sets, fire-control mechanisms and radios are the heart of every U.S. jet bomber and fighter. Today's war planes are controlled by little black boxes so compact that to service a unit, Air Force mechanics simply remove the box, install...
...veteran observer of battle who had seen The Peculiar War from the start. In Pork Chop Hill, Detroit Newsman S.L.A. (for Samuel Lyman Atwood) Marshall, 56, again proves his talent for dramatizing the down-to-mud reality of the average American's experience in combat. His newest book puts the microscope to a phase of combat little known to the U.S. public: the painful, drawn-out stalemate (1952-53) that anti-climaxed the Korean war. "One funda mental question," says Marshall in his preface, "in Korea, 1953, and now, is how the American character continues to meet the test...
...some 4,000,000 other small operators for a bigger share of the nation's business are being pushed by twelve congressional committees and Government agencies, dozens of politicians and economists, who argue that the welfare of small companies is a key condition for prosperity. To them, the newest figures on small business are cause for some alarm. Business failures in 1956 are at the highest level (52 per 10,000) since 1940. Profits of manufacturers worth less than $1,000,000 have dropped $1.3 billion since 1947, from 13.8% to 4.7% of U.S. manufacturers' total earnings...
...implied answer for the frustrated young is to go to the jungle, to the ''People Inside" (the Communists), and fight for justice. Or to go to Communist China "to give their strength and enthusiasm" to "the newest America, the earth's old country, the ancestor's land." Author Han Suyin is not so crude as to line up on the Communist side herself, but most of the native characters who are decent and serious are sympathetic to the People Inside; the despicable ones are antiCommunist, usually for despicable reasons. The whites are divided just as clearly...
