...from the well-blasted concrete beach at Cape Canaveral, Fla. last week rose the U.S.'s latest contribution to the heavens: a 38.43-lb. instrument assembly called Explorer IV. For the Army's dependable ballistic dray horse, Jupiter-C, which has failed only once in four tries, this was a milk-run space delivery-but on a new route. All other U.S. satellites were launched toward the equator to take advantage of the earth's 1,000-m.p.h. spin. Explorer IV soared northeast along the New England coast, into a looping orbit which will span more...
...land in three precisely flown P12 pursuit planes - the famed "Three Men on a Flying Trapeze" of the air shows. What he wanted to prove was that precise and darting aggression spelled air power, but nobody cared. And when his noncommissioned wingmen flunked their tests for commissions, his gorge rose hot as a Louisiana pepper, and he resigned his own commission, saying: "I'm glad to get out.

Arab nationalism, Nasser insisted, is not belligerent. "When we nationalized the Suez Canal," he shouted, "imperialism and its leaders rose and said that Egypt would close the canal.

The amendment proposed that any European woman who married a native would legally become a native herself. Whitehead said that everybody would be free of party discipline to vote as they wished, because this "is more a question of conscience than of government policy." One opposition member foresaw some unexpected consequences. "We say," he began, "that...
Last week the Dow-Jones industrial average rose 15.21 points, burst through the 500-mark for the fourth time in history. At week's end the average stood at 501.76, highest since Aug. 5, 1957, and within hailing distance of the alltime postwar high of 521.05. Even more surprising was the volume: 18,581,325 shares, heaviest week of the year. Instead of tapering off at the weekend as it often does, the buying increased steadily, left the tape minutes behind as 4,427,280 shares, double the normal volume, changed hands on the closing...
