This week, weather conditions perfect once again, the animals back in their places, the first test bomb of the maneuvers was finally fired. Barred from the site, newsmen at distant observation points thought they heard a slight rumbling. The expected blinding flash of light was not visible. The AEC would not discuss the explosion...
...village of Panmunjom, the place agreed on as the new site for cease-fire talks, the Communists put up a large tent. Under it, Communist and U.N. liaison officers met last week to haggle-not over peace, but over how wide the neutral zone must be in which to discuss the peace.

Wake Forest took one look at its own puny campus (25 acres), decided to accept, and set out to raise the money on its own to build a whole new college from scratch...
General Ridgway, over the juniors' heads, appealed directly to Kim II Sung and Peng Teh-huai for a change of site to Songhyon, a mud-hut village eight miles southeast of Kaesong. Songhyon, said Ridgway, would have the advantage of being "approximately midway between the battle lines" and "it would, of course, be agreed by both sides that this meeting place would be kept free of armed troops and that both sides would abstain from any hostile acts...
