...days between Sputnik I and Explorer were as important to the U.S. as perhaps any similar peacetime span in its history. To a few querulous quidnuncs they were a time for crying out, for attributing to Russian technology a gigantic leap in military power, for downrating beyond reason the present-day U.S. ability to keep the peace through unequaled sea and air strength.

Syracuse University's Dr. G. Arnold Cronk ran a similar test, found that from either type of tablet the aspirin gets into the blood at just the same speed, gives equal pain relief equally fast, and the relief lasts the same length of time...

(This system is similar to that of the superbly lit Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Mass.-TIME, May 7, 1956.) The natural light is next deflected by a synthetic-wood barrier-to the side walls of the gallery below, passing through ceiling panels of glass wool sandwiched between sheets of glass to diffuse it evenly over...
