...turned to Stevenson. "Can I repeat that little conversation?" he asked. "It won't reveal any secret?" Replied Adlai, with a big grin: "You are at liberty to reveal my deepest secret." Said Khrushchev: "Mr. Stevenson said that he was a politician in retirement. But in politics it often happens that a person retires today and tomorrow he may be in the first rank. It all depends on the people." Added Stevenson: "It depends on how many times you can retire...
...Summit v. the Schools. In Lancashire, the closing of 72 cotton mills in five constituencies threatened to drive thousands of touchy, often Tory mill hands into the arms of Labor. In south-coast Devonport, audiences listened stonily to speeches about the summit and demanded new schools. Among the coalpits of the Tyne, in Scotland and in the Yorkshire foundry towns, pockets of unemployment threatened at least a dozen government seats. And both sides fretted over the effect of mass transfers of traditionally Labor voters from city slums to new outlying housing developments...
Smelling the kind of trouble that often presages bloody revolt in Araby, ascetic Abdul Karim Kassem began to edge over to the other side of his seesaw.

At week's end, Kassem was still maintaining his equilibrium, but his grisly balancing act lacked some...
Space flight is a quantum jump in technology. Behind its thunderous engines and jewel-like instruments lie thousands of jobs of research, each calling for patient, often frustrating experiments. Major U.S. center for this sort of basic work is a quiet laboratory nestled against the San Gabriel Mountains on the outskirts of Pasadena. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory does not build giant rockets or their engines. It specializes in the long-range research that makes them possible. If and when U.S. spacemen match and outdo the Russians, J.P.L. will deserve a major slice of credit...
There is very little doctors can do about it. One promising vaccine against "B"-type viruses developed at Johns Hopkins University (TIME, March 4, 1957) has not yet proved its worth; the few vaccines against "A" encephalitis forms are still laboratory curiosities. Nor have health authorities often had success in wiping out the mosquito vectors. In some cases where encephalitis-carrying insects in a given area were wiped out, it is suspected that the virus simply sought out new vectors...
