...years between her wedding to Scott and her disappearance, Evelyn Throsby Scott cashed some $223,000 worth of securities, in addition to drawing about $180,000 in income from her estate. When she disappeared, there was a lot of money lying around in a dozen-odd bank accounts and safe-deposit boxes. According to subsequent testimony, Scott, using forged signatures, helped himself liberally to the money, spent a bundle of $100 bills on travel, Las Vegas gambling and gifts for a shapely divorcee...
With the deadline nearing, Tengku Rahman reported that 122 of the 1,750 remaining rebels had come out of the jungles and surrendered. Encouraged, Rahman extended the amnesty deadline until next April 30, showered 12 million safe-conduct passes into the forests. But he had less success with Chin Peng, 36, Chinese-educated leader of the guerrillas. From his jungle lair across the border in neighboring Thailand, Chin Peng sent word that he would be willing to meet Rahman only to discuss "an end to the war," not a surrender. Snapped the Tengku last week: "Unless and until Chin Peng...
Burma. U Nu, a true neutral in East-West affairs, has no illusions about Communists at home. His army has killed thousands of Communist insurgents in nine years' fighting, and recently stepped-up campaigns have resulted in mass surrender of rebels.

...their plans. But if the Smithsonian's finding checks out, the perigee (minimum orbital altitude) for a long-lived satellite will have to be raised from 140 miles to 180 miles because of the decelerating drag of air particles at the lower altitude. Anticipated perigee for Vanguard: a safe 200 miles. Scientists at Washington's Carnegie Institution are still puzzling over a radio phenomenon of Sputnik I: a "ghost" signal that registered on their receivers when the artificial satellite was on the opposite side of the earth. One guess: under certain ionospheric conditions, the radio waves of Sputnik...
...near future-would really risk its cities to save Europe if not itself threatened. But if NATO means anything, Europe's safety still depends on the U.S., and will for a long time to come. Without the U.S.'s retaliatory power, Europe would not long be safe on a continent alone with Russia, and Europe knew it. Britain had already made clear its willingness to accept enough IRBMs to stock four bases (three to be manned by the British and one by U.S. troops). In time, similar agreements could probably be worked out with enough other NATO members...
