...animal origin to cooking oils of vegetable origin. After Cleveland's Dr. Irvine H. Page suggested that such a diet change was due for wide-scale trial (TIME, Jan. 5), Nutritionist Norman Jolliffe reported that 79 men. aged 50 to 59, enrolled in a New York City project dubbed the "Anti-Coronary Club." had stuck to such a diet for at least six months and gone about their normal business uncomplaining. But many a housewife still asks: Is a lowered-fat, cholesterol-reducing diet practical in the average home...
...Secret nuclear test detonations at more than 300 miles above the earth were conducted by the United States early last September." So began last week the year's biggest news beat: a report by New York Times Military Editor Hanson W. Baldwin on Project Argus-an attempt to gauge the behavior of high-speed electrons in the earth's magnetic field (see SCIENCE). The story was much more than a beat.

Uninformed public-information officers on duty at the Pentagon had nothing at all to tell the clamoring press. Characteristically, Murray Snyder, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs (TIME, March 2), had warned a few top scientists to give only innocuous answers to newsmen. But the cry for information grew so loud that...
