...store the stuff while it slowly deteriorates. And the costs threaten to climb higher as farm output keeps rising. Last week the Agriculture Department reported that, though planted acreage was the smallest since 1918, the U.S.'s total 1958 crop output topped by a startling 11% the previous record highs of 1948, 1956 and 1957. For wheat and corn, already in generous oversupply, farmers set new yield-per-acre records...
...Eisenhower Republicans sought a firmer stance, they could feel the rug being pulled out from under them by their political leader. Dwight Eisenhower, after years of insisting that the internal affairs of the Congress were none of his business, had suddenly decided to take a hand. On the record, Ike was merely pleading with Senate Republicans not to get into a ruinous fight. Actually, he was doing everything possible to defeat the Republican Senators who were battling on his behalf...
...further experiments. Then it passed near a tracking station in California, which first tried to extract from it a second broadcast of Eisenhower's voice. The satellite tried to comply, but reception was poor. The station then radioed a signal that told the satellite to record a fresh message. The satellite obeyed, making a tape of a Teletype version of President Eisenhower's message. As it swept eastward at 17,000 m.p.h., a station in Texas gave it the playback signal.

No one in the league is close to his career marks for goals (603); only Detroit's Gordie Howe can approach his mark for total points (Richard 1,047, Howe 942). The Rocket still holds the record for most goals in one season (50 in an abbreviated 50-game season, 1944-45). He is also one of the game's great clutch players, has scored the winning goal in 98 games. Says New York Rangers Defenseman Lou Fontinato, who tangles often with the Rocket...
...Fight? Taciturn and monosyllabic off the ice, the sinewy (5 ft. 10 in., 196 lbs.) Rocket turns into a ferociously truculent competitor once he takes stick in hand. In his long career, he has been fined a total of $2,500, an all-time record. In one celebrated incident three years ago, Richard attacked an official who was interfering with his assault on a Boston player. League President Clarence Campbell suspended him, thus banishing him from the Stanley Cup playoffs. Montreal fans retaliated by attacking Campbell when he showed up to watch the next game, then surged out into downtown...
