...three-quarter moon rose over Europe last week as serene and remote as ever, but dropping faster and faster through its gravitational field was a small, alien object: a metal sphere blazoned with the hammer and sickle of the Soviet Union. Perhaps no one will ever know what happened when it hit. It may have dug an invisibly small crater among the natural meteor craters on the moon's scarred face. Perhaps it splashed a brief fountain of dust. Whatever it did, the moon could no longer serve as a symbol of unreachability. Man had sent an object from...
...this would be enough to talk about at length. But TIME'S object this week is a little more. The nation has steadied down since its first feverish response to Russia's sweep into outer space. A series of impressive public school reforms and experiments has begun.

And there are always women who complain because they think they have been left out of things...
Armstrong by Request (CBS, 10-11 p.m.). The sort of rerun that can hardly be seen too often: an object lesson in the perils that beset the average consumer from supermarket to sidewalk grifter. The White Collar Bandit is a true-life report from the files of Manhattan's Better Business Bureau, redolent of assorted bunko artists, con men and garden-variety gyps...
