...that moment the clock seemed about to turn back two years to the race riots, incited by Arkansas' Governor Orval Faubus, that brought federal troops into Little Rock and led to the city's high schools being closed for a year. But last week's result was different, thanks to a tough cop named Eugene Smith, who was backed by a citizenry that had learned its bitter lesson...
...judge by his treatment in the mercurial British press, Adenauer was right in his fear of being isolated as a peace disturber just because he warned against the "artificial euphoria" that might result from Khrushchev's visit.

While cutting into U.S. markets, foreign carriers are strengthening themselves against inroads into their home territory; e.g., European carriers got I.A.T.A. to place a special tariff...
...machine to work photographing the newly revealed conformations and deformations of man. In this collection of 16 short stories, Author Updike's plots vary-they may turn on a boy's whistle, a bachelor girl's bed, a bottle of wine-but the personality changes that result share the kinship of human nature well-observed...
