...boom, as people leave their straw mats for Western-style mattresses. There are skiing booms, boating booms, bowling booms, appliance booms. Cities throb with the pound of pile drivers pushing new office buildings and apartments skyward. Tokyo's streets -most of them no more than lanes-resound with the honking of 700,000 cars, trucks and motorcycles, v. 59,000 before the war; traffic jams are hideous, and the death rate from traffic accidents the highest in the world. So many people pack stores, subways and amusement centers that one entrepreneur sells a "slippery coat" of tough synthetic fiber...
Plastic Applause. By day. Algiers appears as peaceful as any city of France, reported TIME Correspondent Edward Behr. After sunset, the streets resound to the powerful explosion of plastic bombs. Some nights there may be only three or four; once last week there were 19. When European audiences in movie houses hear the muffled roar of a distant bomb, they break into applause.

Eichmann drew together his thin lips and stared with stony disapproval...
...burst had a prosaic beginning : Bertoia was simply trying to find a way of making metal wires spring from a core, like petals from a flower or rays from the sun. In other pieces Bertoia clusters metal rods that stand straight up like bronze-colored grass and, when touched, resound like tiny organ pipes. In these the secret of Bertoia's work comes clear. "In my walks home," says he in his whitewashed garage-studio near his farm in Bally, Pa., "I pass by wheat fields swaying in the breeze and can hear the rustling. Sculpture comes alive when...
