Turkey's Premier Adnan Menderes, a man who does not scare easily, took Nuri seriously enough to fly off to Baghdad for a hasty conference with Iraq's influential Crown Prince Abdul Illah; on his return, he looked anything but happy. The U.S. quietly withdrew an advance text of Dulles' opening speech. Plainly, the Baghdad powers had reached a crossroads of confidence, would not be content with the platitudes of sympathy and support...

Julian ("Harvey") Allen, a rumpled giant who devised the blunt-nose cone that can safely return a missile warhead through the atmosphere without burning up with friction. One startling sequence: a blunt-nose staying intact during lab tests while a white-hot, pointed-nose disintegrated. Conquest's point: science and scientists can make fascinating fare without the support of capering cartoons or high-powered hokum...
