...first official act-choosing his Cabinet-Mexico's new President Adolfo Lopez Mateos (TIME, Dec. 8) set a course for his administration. He put the accent on technical brilliance, shunned Yanqui-haters, seemed determined to stay on the middle road to booming development followed by his predecessor, Adolfo Ruiz Cortines...
...while the earth turns inside it. If the satellite's period of revolution is 90 minutes, it makes 16 north-south passes around the earth in a day, each pass being 22.5 degrees of longitude (about 1,560 miles at the equator) farther to the west than its predecessor.

There seems to be less attempt at choral "effects," which provide both interest and distraction, in favor of more concentration on the overall shape of long sections and on greater continuity. Professor Forbes' conducting is more precise and less energetic than his predecessor's, but there doesn't seem to be any less spirit...
