What the man on the screen teaches is another matter. Teaching is not technology. It is the splendid province of the remarkable man on this week's cover. In the last year he has done more than any other single educator to throw Sputnik's red glare where it belongs-on the curriculum in U.S. public schools. James Bryant Conant is a product (1910) of one of the nation's best secondary schools, Roxbury Latin in Boston. In his 303 he was one of the country's most brilliant young chemists. At 40 he became president...
...quest for relaxation by increasing their prices for it. In a 7,000-word article in Foreign Affairs, Russia's Nikita Khrushchev denned peaceful coexistence as meaning Western abandonment of West Berlin on Russian terms, and acceptance of the Communist conquest of the captive nations of Eastern Europe.

Secret Service and State Department security officers will line his route from the airport to Blair House, his official guest quarters across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House. A minimum number of Soviet red flags will be displayed by the U.S. in Washington; there will be no parades through red-flag-decked streets. On his first night, Khrushchev will attend a formal dinner given by the President, and the next day will visit the Agricultural Research Center at Beltsville, Md., address a luncheon...
...help force the harsh realities of the Communist revolution down their throats. Peasant resistance to Mao's rural communes, though chiefly passive, has reached proportions alarming to Peking: food, coal, steel and industrial production are sagging far below earlier boastful figures. And for all his claims that Red China is moving into an entirely new phase of human development, Mao has found no other way to whip up his unenthusiastic masses than the timeworn device employed by every despot since the world began: border troubles, troop movements, and the bogeyman of foreign attack...
