...Some military strategists believe that a U.S. rocket base on the moon, which could never be destroyed by surprise attack, would provide the supreme deterrent to any earth aggressor. Most scientists do not agree. Nor do they think much of the idea of armed satellite bases. They see little reason to shoot from a satellite when a rocket shot from solid ground can hit any target on earth. But satellites may prove to have value as "eyes in the sky" over enemy territory...
...enough pedal, "I'm starving." Occasionally, they get their signals crossed: once, each waited "for a terrible moment" for the other to make a solo entrance, finally came in together. But such lapses are rare, and none but the sharpest critical ears have managed to detect them. The reason, Badura-Skoda points out, is that most of the music they play is from a literature totally unfamiliar to modern audiences. "What we are doing," he says proudly, "is a very old-fashioned thing...
Eaton maintains that "what the world pays most attention to is success," and as a financial success he thinks the world should also listen to his political opinions. Perhaps the world is a little skeptical of them, but there is every reason why Khrushchev should agree.

Fortnight ago, loadings climbed to 467,699 cars, lagged only 1% below the same week in 1958. Railmen think the year-to-year gap has now been closed, expect carloadings to keep climbing above those of 1958 as the tempo of U.S. business picks...
Timeswoman Ruby Phillips has outlasted eleven Cuban governments, and has had a way with all of them. "Ruby knows as much about Cuba as I do," says ex-President Ramón Grau San Martin. Fulgencio Batista admired and respected the Timeslady. "Although Batista has no reason to be fond of our coverage," said Emanuel R. Freedman, the Times's foreign news editor and Ruby's boss, "she still enjoys his confidence." Ruby herself says simply: "I have good connections in every faction in Cuba...
