...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. To keep the curious even more so, they fanned romantic rumors about the queen's hidden $32,000 treasure. They also made newsmen pay for everything they got. Prices ranged from 5,000 lire ($8) for a photograph of a gypsy weeping to 50,000 lire for a closeup of the queen herself. "For only 5,000 lire more," a gold-toothed, top-hatted elder told an Italian...
...amused to see your photograph of the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and myself in such a striking pose. It is apparent that he is the champ. 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...
...everyday life, a fusion reminiscent of the effect U.S. Choreographer Jerome Robbins achieves in such works as Fancy Free.

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...
...bureau has high hopes for SEAC. Step by step, like a once-blind person learning to see, the computer is learning to recognize patterns. It can count dark or light objects in a photograph, measure the area of each and report how many are bigger than a specified size. It is not fooled by such complicated shapes as spirals or circles, and it ignores such distractions as specks of dirt. It can recognize printed letters and numbers, and the bureau hopes that soon it will identify diagrams, chemical formulas...
