...Oklahoma City's northern edge, in 41 acres of what was once part of a golf course, workmen are busy this week installing an organ in the Church of Tomorrow. That is what Pastor Bill Alexander calls it. Some Oklahomans refer to it as Space Headquarters, and that is all right with Pastor Bill. For his First Christian Church is all but out of this world...
Operational Factors. The AEC did not explain how it controls H-bomb fallout, but it pointed the way to some speculation.

The 1954 H-bomb test that made "7,000 square miles of territory ... so contaminated that survival might have depended on prompt evacuation" (according to the AEC's own reports) was exploded on a tower on a small coral island.

...marriage of the present Queen Juliana,who succeeded to the throne at the retirement of her mother Wilhelmina in 1948, to German Prince Bernhard zu Lippe-Biesterfeld (a former I.G. Farben representative) was long acclaimed as one of the happiest in Europe. Sentimental Dutch editors were known to refer to their conjugal life at the royal residence as "the idyl at Soestdijk," and even the fact of still another generation without male heirs failed to blight the general Dutch satisfaction in the rulers...
