Films for the Fuhrer. The July 20 plotters-a network of diplomats, politicians and clergymen, working with disillusioned generals and colonels-had paid dearly for their pains. As soon as the news went out that Hitler was alive, the Gestapo began its dragnet Operation Thunderstorm, which brought the number of Germans arrested that year to 33,000. Stauffenberg was shot, and every other man, woman and child by that name was ordered arrested. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel chose suicide by poison. At least 600 men were either guillotined or strangled by piano wire suspended from meat hooks, and their final...
Canada's Bureau of Statistics last week reported employment at an alltime high, with 6,053,000 at work and unemployment running lower than Ottawa economists dared expect only a few months ago. The number of jobless Canadians dropped sharply last month to 234,000, which is 3.7% of the labor force, compared with 10% in March 1958.

So many oil-prospecting crews were buzzing about in their helicopters that one oldtimer at Fort Good Hope (N.W.T.) grouched...
...West Virginia night after night for the agile, brawny kids he needed to make the split-T work. In nine years his teams won 73, lost only 15, tied 4, and went to five bowl games. In the glory days of 1953, while the stands chanted "We're number one!", Maryland was undefeated, was judged the national champion by wire-service polls, and Jim Tatum was coach of the year...
With families enjoying the highest incomes in history, the University of Michigan Survey Research Center, which keeps a reliable temperature chart of consumer attitudes, spied a shift in the public mood. In the center's latest survey, out this week, the number of consumers who think the time is ripe to buy a house or used car showed a sharp upswing, and moderate upswings showed up among those who believe it is a good time to buy major household appliances and new cars, undertake large home improvements. The survey pointed out that some part of the public must...
