...discuss-the status of the satellites, the reunification of Germany. ¶Foreign Minister Gromyko's formal charge that the U.S. Strategic Air Command constitutes "a threat to peace," because it sends bombers armed with hydrogen weapons flying toward Russia whenever an unexplained "blip" appears on U.S. radar screens, proved a dismal flop before the U.N. Security Council. Since the U.S. was easily able to prove the safeguards in its "Fail Safe" technique-which prevents any U.S. plane from actually proceeding to a Russian target without personal orders from the President-Russia found no supporting votes for its accusation...
...independent student research. Last week the joyous grind for next year's scholarships continued; Math Department Chairman Irving Dodes dismissed a class studying symbolic logic, said wearily and wonderingly: "I can't sit down without kids coming in, pestering me for advanced math books or trying to prove the impossible. It's a continual effort to keep up. Every day I go home tired-but happy...
...Dulsa & Jerque." Truth was Winchell had voted in at least the last two national elections (Elsa claimed that she got her information from a 1952 New York Post series) and could prove it; in 1956, he had proudly posed for a picture as he entered a Manhattan precinct booth to strike a blow for Ike and Dick.

Last week Jack Paar, henceforth answerable to NBC's brass...
...really felt left out was the Dodgers' top slugger, Duke Snider. A fine lefthanded hitter, he slashes fat pitches to right field. And there the Coliseum outfield seems to stretch away forever like a vast green cow pasture. In his frustration, Duke undertook to prove to Infielder Don Zimmer that at least he could heave a ball out of the park. In a pregame contest, he threw a ball up to the 76th row of the 79-row stands before something snapped in his elbow. The team doctor prescribed rest and heat; Manager Walter Alston angrily ordered another kind...
Physicist Wyatt suggests another search at the site for short-lived radioisotopes, produced by intense gamma radiation, which could prove the point. One theoretical flaw in the argument is that an antimatter meteor ought to explode shortly after whizzing into the earth's atmosphere. Moreover, anti-gravity may be a property of antimatter. Unlike other meteors, which fall into the earth's gravitational field, an antimatter meteor would be repelled. But if antimatter does not have antigravity, an antimatter meteor - if big enough to survive the annihilation of its surface - might hit the earth...
