...Good Loser." To the two-story stucco house in a neglected La Habra orange grove came the news bulletin of Stassen's surrender. There Frank Nixon labored for life under a green oxygen mask. At the foot of his bed was a television set; on top of it rested the family Bible. Dick Nixon told his father about Stassen's surrender. The old man smiled, said painfully: "He's a good loser." Asked the son: "You heard that President Eisenhower opened his press conference by saying everyone is praying for you?" Replied his father: "Thank...
...Jimmy, a quiet, confident boy, is in the top eight of his class at Phillips Academy at Andover, Mass., holds one of the school's major scholarships. When Army experts tore down Jimmy's rocket−planned to be fired by combining liquid nitrogen, gasoline and liquid oxygen−they were amazed at his skill.

Firemen set to work. "If you use water they may drown," said one. "But if you don't the fire will suffocate them." Fire hoses proved ineffective.

Exactly 20 minutes after he had been cut loose from the B-50, Pete Everest, gliding toward the field, was overtaken by a supersonic F-100 that had been left far behind by his wild ride, and escorted to a dead-stick...
Died. Thomas D. Bourdillon, 31, British physicist and rocket expert who in 1953, with Dr. Charles Evans, climbed to within 300 feet of Mt. Everest's peak before being turned back by bad weather and lack of oxygen, three days before Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norkey made it to the top; in a fall while climbing Ausserberg in southern Switzerland...
