...Reason. Navy Chief Arleigh Burke grabbed a radio telephone to Admiral Withington in Tokyo and learned the embarrassing truth: the Mercator lacked no parts. Its nose and top guns had been dismantled to make room for top-secret radar and infra-red gear, used in mapping and aerial photography. And the damaged Mercator was returning from a reconnaissance mission along the North Korean coast when it was fired upon...

Seeking a reason for reopening a five-year wage contract, the U.A.W. claimed a safety violation at Canton, then the supplier of all the rear axle shafts used in Ford cars and trucks. The U.A.W. held the unionists out five weeks, forcing Ford to shut down across the nation, grant the union a big pension fund increase. The Michigan Employment Security Commission ruled that the Michigan workers were involved in the Canton strike and so were ineligible for unemployment...
