...currents swirl at unknown depths below. But the crew of Atlantis was both skilled and lucky; photos taken a half-mile north of Contact Delta showed a string of debris on the bottom. The pictures picked out hundreds of pieces of twisted metal, a shredded copper cable, a half-pint milk carton standing peacefully right side up, and a white Navy coffee mug lying on its side. Nothing has yet been identified conclusively as coming from Thresher, but everything is clean and new-looking, and the metal is untarnished...
What seems less certain is that pint-sized, peppery Amintore Fanfani will survive as Premier. In accordance with Italian procedure, Fanfani last week handed his resignation to President Antonio Segni, who is expected to name a Premier-designate this week. If Fanfani is passed over, No. 1 candidate for the office will be the Christian Democrats' tall, unassuming Aldo Moro, 46, who became interim party leader in 1959 and has since emerged as party strongman...
...went to the polls for national elections and rewarded their experimenting Premier with a jolting setback that cost his party 730,000 votes and may well cost him his job.

Last week WENT-TV began broadcasting to the fleet. Dawn Addams was there for the ceremonies, but the inaugural show was an episode from Victory...
Even that performance was eclipsed by the mile. There, pint-sized (5 ft. 5½ in., 128 Ibs.) Jim Beatty, 28, an insurance man from Los Angeles and the best miler in the U.S., was making his 1963 debut. With 15 straight meet victories behind him, Beatty was going all out to win another. As for setting a record, he was not so sure. A gangling, 20-year-old junior named Tom O'Hara from Loyola of Chicago decided the question...
