...Soviet troops who keep the lid on in the Democratic Republic. If these East German authorities were to attempt to cut off West Berlin then it seems the United States has rightly committed itself to preserve the sector's free status, no matter what the cost. Berlin is no rock off the China coast; it is an actual incubator of liberty. It seems doubtful, however, that the Soviets would permit their German deputies to risk a war in the face of Western unaminity on the Berlin issue...
...situation: with Arkansas due to lose two Representatives after the 1960 census. Mills cannot risk being gerrymandered out of Congress by a legislature under the segregationist thumb of Governor Orval Faubus. Mills therefore has recently taken a strong segregationist position, this year masterminded the disputed House seating of Little Rock Segregationist Dale Alford, won respect for his political footwork, lost points for the speakership...
...made no visible dent in the unity of the Western allies. British and French officialdom, in a rare vote of confidence in U.S. diplomatic skill, admiringly agreed that Washington had handled Mikoyan adroitly. In West Germany the U.S. had accomplished the diplomatic equivalent of the hat trick. While rock-hard Chancellor Konrad Adenauer rejoiced in his belief that the U.S. had "held firm" against Mikoyan's blandishments, the opposition Social Democratic Party was happily convinced that the U.S. had displayed "new flexibility." Combat of Paris reflected a common European sentiment: "Mikoyan interested, aroused and amused America...
...there was a volcanic eruption, it is evidence that the moon is not a cold, dead lump of rock, but that its interior is still hot, at least in some places. Some non-Russian astronomers have accepted Dr. Kozyrev's observations, if not his theories. Professor Donald H. Menzel of Harvard thinks that Kozyrev certainly saw something happen on the moon, but it may have been merely a jet of gas breaking out of a crevice. Physicist J. H. Fremlin of the University of Birmingham, England theorized in this week's Nature that if the bottoms of lunar...
...stations listened attentively during October while the AEC made underground tests in faraway Nevada. The rock waves came through all right, but not quite as strongly as had been anticipated. At distances above 700 miles, only explosions of more than 20 kilotons could be identified clearly as manmade. To sum up, said the panel, the 180-station detection system might be confronted by 1,500, not 100, natural seismic shocks a year that could not be distinguished from an underground test explosion. This number would presumably overburden the checking system as presently outlined...
