...appointed in 1957 by U.S. Senator John F. Kennedy. In four years he completed 205½ semester hours, compared with the national college average of 124. He was top man in basic sciences, electrical engineering, military studies, social sciences and overall academic achievement. Sullivan hopes to fly for SAC, then study science in graduate school and some day teach at the academy. Said he happily last week: "Today is the beginning...
...panacea, and Dr. Terry, though too enthusiastic, was careful not to suggest that it is. It cures only some cases of choriocarcinoma, one of the rarest of cancers (about 300 U.S. cases a year).

LeMay, a military "conservative," molds his thinking around here-and-now weapons rather than futuristic ones on the drawing board. Thus Air Force research and development leaders are still bucking his appointment...
