...week, "that this nation of ours was not merely a self-serving society but was founded with a mission to help build a world where liberty and justice would prevail." So saying, Dulles, gravely ill of cancer, resigned as Secretary of State. Replied Dwight Eisenhower: "You have set a record that stands clear and strong for all to see." Appointed to succeed Dulles in as critical time as ever faced a nation in a role of leadership: Christian Archibald Herter, 64, longtime student of foreign affairs, onetime Congressman, Governor of Massachusetts and for two years Under Secretary to Dulles...
...right. At 18, Dallas Long already stands 6 ft. 4 in., weighs 255 Ibs. Fortnight ago in Tempe, Ariz., he flung the shot an astounding 64 ft. 6 in., a full 16 in. farther than the world record held by Parry O'Brien. For good measure, he topped O'Brien's old mark of 63 ft. 2 in. on three other tosses. But the throws were made in an exhibition, and they cannot be approved for an official record...
...feels bound to support Actress Cornell, with whom he first co-starred in The Barretts of Wimpole Street in 1931. And to Actress Cornell the road is as much a magnet as when she ran a record 18,000-mile marathon of 77 cities with a repertory including Romeo and Juliet in 1933.

The Federal Reserve Board announced that overall industrial production in March rose to 147% of the 1947-49 average, a point more than the previous record of 146% in February 1957. The FRB also revised upward its February industrial output figure from 144%, as previously announced, to 145%. Most encouraging was the fact that the extra boost in production has come from nondurable goods (see chart). Economists are hopeful "that durable goods will pick up faster, give...
After four weeks in the doldrums, the stock market came to life last week, pushed into uncharted territory. The Dow-Jones industrials clipped through the old high of 614.69, climbed 18 points for the week to a new record of 624.06. Reflecting week-by-week increase in car-loadings and higher rail earnings, the Dow-Jones railroads climbed to a new 1959 high of 168.92, up 5.81 for the week, and highest since 1956. What encouraged Wall Street about the advance was that the market leadership came from such old-line blue chips as American Telephone & Telegraph and International Business...
