...assorted objects against a cool sea painted on this week's cover by Artist Aaron Bohrod are familiar symbols of the oceanographer's trade. The brownish-pink PGR (Precision Graphic Record), from which the portrait emerges, is used to make a portrait of the ocean floor. The record that served as a model was actually made on July 15, 1958 and shows part of the profile of the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean some 70 miles northeast of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. Behind the graph paper is a yellow Nansen Bottle, used by oceanographers to take water samples...
Tenebrous. A calm champion-the first boy to win since 1954-pudgy, pink-cheeked Joel slung an arm around tearful Bobby and quietly allowed that his only real puzzler had been intitule in an early round. Joel came equipped to win. The son of a lumber salesman, he reads four or five books a week, is starting Darwin's Origin of Species. And his spelling coach at Denver's Byers Junior High School is Teacher Ted Glim, producer of a co-champion two years ago, who shuns rote memorization. Glim starts with accurate pronunciation.

They fish under the dawn-pink sky out of San Diego, and in the cool basins of the Colorado mountains. And they can just laze...
...room that was once a hallway, Van Allen checked over a tangle of small, glittering electrical parts weighing a pound or so, which might be a transmitter designed to broadcast its voice over thousands of miles of empty space. Near it was what looked like a cylinder of dirty pink soap. It was plastic foam, encasing apparatus that might be destined to orbit the sun until the end of the solar system. Puffing on a battered pipe, Van Allen peered, commented, sketched an idea for a new circuit, then was summoned to take a long-distance call from the Army...
