...anyone fight for it? Why do we not give all German to Khrushchev as a birthday present? That would make it easier for all parties, but it might also move the front line a little closer to those cute little blue-eyed babies across the Channel and across the ocean...
...Stephen and Jean Kennedy Smith, who also maintain a rented home in Georgetown. Only a mile and a half away is Edward Kennedy's newly bought ten-room cottage on Squaw Island. The house is typically Kennedy Eclectic-Modern and Early American. For a better view of the ocean, Joan Kennedy and her decorator had one wall removed and replaced with sliding glass doors. Two rooms remain to be decorated, but Joan and Ted Kennedy are waiting until the birth of their second child in November before they select the colors for the baby's room...
With U.S. tourism to Europe down for the first time since the end of World War II (TIME, Aug. 4) and steamships only three-quarters full, transatlantic ocean lines are not only talking about lowering fares but resorting to gimmicks to entice passengers into their empty cabins.

...machine's first tests was to distinguish sonar signals bounced off a submarine from those bounced off a porpoise, the ocean floor, or schools of fish. Even an ordinary computer could solve the same problem, but only after a tedious programing telling it exactly how. The Cybertron was merely fed a variety of sounds -several thousand-and after some diligent work by Witt on the goof button, it soon learned to discriminate infallibly. The Cybertron responds by flashing lights on its console, can give not only "yes" (the submarine) and "no" (the porpoise) answers but a broad variety...
