...Brisson in Figaro: "It is no longer a Parliament, but a monstrous jamming enterprise. The conclusion is to reform or disappear. The margin for the Assembly is only a thread's width." But, unhappily for M. Brisson, his readers can remember that only two days ago a Figaro photographer, sent out to photograph Reneé Pleven at his hour of decision, found a more interesting subject in a game of boules being played by a group of taxi drivers, and that his picture made four columns on Figaro's front page...
...With humans eliminated, the scientists agreed, a great deal of space exploration will be possible in a few years. Dr. J. Halcombe Laning Jr. of M.I.T. described an unmanned vehicle designed to photograph Mars. It would carry optical devices to observe the sun and the stars. It could watch Mars too, and steer toward it by means of small rockets. Swinging around Mars, it could take pictures through a camera showing objects 500 ft. long; then it would return to earth with its cargo of information. The whole vehicle, said Dr. Laning, need weigh only 300 Ibs. He thinks...
...Closeup. As her subjects gathered, tourists, reporters and photographers streamed into the square too. In spite of their loyalty to their queen, the gypsies could not resist doing a little business.

The Foreign Relations Committee heard me in a brief open session which was followed by a closed meeting that extended my time before the committee to a total of three hours. Six Senators listened attentively to my presentation, and all of them asked very good-I would say, penetrating-questions. I thought that my trip from SHAPE, Paris to support the vital Mutual Security Act served a useful purpose. The attitude...
...carry commuters such as these it costs your railroad $2 for every $1 received." So read the caption under a photograph of anonymous commuters in the New Haven railroad's annual report, which sadly totted up a $2,363,702 deficit in 1957. Last week, reporting an even steeper deficit of $3,018,169 just for January-February, the New Haven unhappily discovered the identity of the costly "commuters" pictured in its annual report. Names: Boston and Maine's President Patrick B. McGinnis-who was dumped as New Haven president after a 1956 commuter revolt against late trains...
