...next five Crimson starters are unbeaten in northern competition. Sophomore star Bob Bowditch is at number two, followed by juniors Tim Gallwey and Fred Vinton, sophomore Jorge Lemann and senior Bill Wood. Their opponents, Tom Richardson (younger brother of Ham and no relation to Amherst's star), Sam Hinkle, Roy Anderson, Don LeWin and Ed Mills, while perhaps not as powerful as some previous Princeton teams, should put up a tough battle...
...late in the evening when Major General Tufte Johnsen, commander of the Norwegian air force's northern command, picked up the telephone. Calling him from California was an old friend, U.S. Air Force Lieut. Colonel Charles A. Mathison. The colonel's bizarre message: Be on the lookout for a recoverable capsule likely to float down from outer space at about 0230 or 0300, Spitzbergen time. Thus last week began one of the most incredible treasure hunts in the short, incredible history of space...
...installed not in Pakistan but in Africa, where his Ismaili followers once weighed his portly grandfather in diamonds. The shop signs of Dar es Salaam in Tanganyika are almost all Indian-V. B. Patel, the timber merchant; H. J. Peerani, the baker; Mohanlal, the tailor.

In Kenya, Asians pay one-third of the colony...
Kenyatta was not yet a free man. From his cell near the Sudan border, he and five Mau Mau extremists were hustled under close guard to the tiny government outpost of Lodwar. There, in the empty, arid northern frontier district, 216 miles from the nearest town, Kenyatta will live in exile in two rooms, cooking his own government-supplied food. He may roam the local area, but must report daily to the district commissioner and must remain inside his quarters from sunset to dawn. He may receive out-of-town visitors only with permission of the Nairobi government. He will...
Satellites are getting more sophisticated. The first few tumbled any which way through space; now they are expected to perform all sorts of complicated maneuvers. The Air Force's Discoverer II, whose re-entry capsule came to earth embarrassingly close to northern Russia last week (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS), was as full of busy gadgets as a watch is full of works. The main purpose of its gadgetry was the seemingly simple task of keeping the satellite horizontal in relation to the surface of the earth below -a necessary step toward effective photographic reconnaissance...
