...oratorical: the U.S.'s Dulles promised continued efforts to bring to life President Eisenhower's plan for a pooling of atomic energy for peaceful purposes, even though the Russians snub it (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS). Russia's Vishinsky agreed with surprising alacrity to discuss the proposal, but this means nothing so long as Moscow sticks to its agreement-blocking preconditions for joining in such a pool...

In Houston the Prudential Insurance Co. of America two years ago put up a $9,000,000 building with a swimming pool, outdoor lounge and free-lunch cafeteria.
