...quick personal investigation of the evidence in the January riots. Van Hemelrijck decided that Joseph Kasavubu, 41, the fanatic leader of the ultranationalist Abako organization, had been falsely arrested for fomenting them. He ordered Kasavubu and two other Abako leaders released. Then he had the three men bundled onto a military plane loaded with paratroopers headed home on furlough. When the plane landed in Brussels, everyone from Premier Gaston Eyskens on down was astounded. Van Hemelrijck had done some daring things in his time, but no one had ever expected him to bring home in freedom the very person...

According to the reports, up to 8,000 of the leather-booted Khambas, swinging ancient swords on horseback, taking potshots with captured Red rifles and pushing boulders down the mountain sides onto Chinese truck convoys have gained control of a 200-square-mile area in eastern Tibet-most of the basin of the Brahmaputra River south of the Tibetan capital of Lhasa.

Seawolf), longtime freelancer and magazine editor (Coronet), he now makes literary collaboration with show-business characters his well-paying specialty. After nearly 5,000 hours of listening, he in effect wrote Lillian Roth...
...table in a completely automatic fashion. The hens are kept in individual cages. They stick their heads out to feed from a continuously filled feed trough, turn around to a drinking fountain, drop their eggs on the inclined wire floor. The eggs roll outside through an automatic counter onto a conveyor belt that takes them to a human sorter who puts them in boxes. Another conveyor belt takes away the droppings. One man can easily take care of 7,000 birds with an output of 4,000 eggs a day. Outside each cage is the laying record. When this drops...
