...danger may not be much moved by the argument that we often put on TIME'S cover people whose policies or actions we have no sympathy with, as when we show China's Mao or East Germany's Ulbricht. Notoriety and evil, or even misguided passion, shape events and make news, just as achievement does. And it is our business to report the news, sometimes at the moment most inconvenient to the participants. Misunderstandings, resentments and injured feelings over what we publish arise constantly, usually in nations with less of a tradition of liberty than France...
...revision of the tech services is only the beginning of the reforms Defense Secretary McNamara has planned for the Army. McNamara was shocked to find the Army's reserves in poor shape when recalled to active duty last year as part of the Berlin buildup. He is now working on a plan to create a few combat-ready, top-priority reserve divisions and units that would be kept fully manned, fully trained and fully equipped. To accomplish this, McNamara is more than willing to let the remaining reserves lapse into a lesser state of readiness...
Despite O. Henry-like plot twists. Plowboy is a gritty and gripping play. Frank D.

Scientists gathered around a TV screen at Cape Canaveral, watched the canister soar free. Out swelled the silvery balloon. It took shape swiftly-too swiftly. The balloon expanded to its full 135-ft-diameter in two seconds. Then a rip raced across the silvery skin; almost instantaneously the great balloon tore into shapeless shreds. The pictures were so good that they could be reshown on household TV sets. Back to the drawing boards went Echo A12's designers. But airborne TV had already told them what had gone wrong: Echo A12 contained too much residual air, which made...
Died. Richard Henry Tawney, 81, influential British economic historian whose books (Religion and the Rise of Capitalism, The Acquisitive Society, Equality) helped shape the thinking of two generations of Labor Party theorists; in London. A descendant of British freeholders who fought for Cromwell and Parliament, he was a passionate believer in equality, turned down an army commission and fought instead as a sergeant in World War I, later spurned a peerage, lived as a gentle, absent-minded professor. He left his intellectual mark on hundreds of workers, whom he ardently taught in night classes, condemning the ethics of capitalism while...
