Wandering through what is called the Harlem section of Albany, Ga. (pop. 59,000), the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 33, paused to talk to clusters of Negroes on street corners, stepped gingerly into a poolroom and a tavern, visited a shoe shop here, a filling station there. He preached a theme that Albany's restless Negroes were finding harder and harder to accept: nonviolence in their drive to desegregate the town...
Less than five years ago, oblivion loomed for West Germany's proud old Henschel Works. Founded in 1810 as a family machine shop, Henschel had long ranked as Europe's biggest producer of railroad locomotives and one of the Continent's major truck builders. But in the years following World War II, the company's family management stubbornly continued to concentrate on steam locomotives while Europe's railroads clamored for diesels and electrics.

The first picture to be beamed from the earth station in Maine was a TV camera's view of the American flag waving near the ground tracking facilities, while a sound track carried The Star-Spangled Banner and America the Beautiful. Scientists had expected Telstar...
Private Fish. The young executive who used to lunch in a neighborhood coffee shop advances to a private dining room or eats in a secluded club. When he becomes top brass, says Randall, he flies on executive airplanes, misses the conversation of a random seat mate. Even his recreation is isolated: "As chairman, his golf dates are rare, are always arranged in advance by his secretary, and the foursome is invariably selected from not over six possibilities. If duck shooting is his sport, he will be found at a small private club where no uncouth voice is heard...
