...robbery occurred six weeks after the Pinkerton contract ended. TIME erred...
Gates, who has been Deputy Defense Secretary for six months, moved into his new job last week on the run. An hour after taking over, he reversed McElroy's longstanding policy discouraging press conferences by the Air Force, Army and Navy Secretaries. Ahead of him lie the same problems that McElroy did not get around to-plus an even more urgent need to grasp the military possibilities in space. Gates has a scant year before the Eisenhower Administration runs out of time, but if he only improves Pentagon morale and makes overdue decisions, he will surely qualify...
Since his first meeting with Adenauer 15 months ago, De Gaulle has treated West Germany as a junior partner, has shown a lofty lack of concern for German sensibilities.

A graceful, sweeping arc of concrete 738 ft. long and 197 ft. high, it backed the Reyran River into a lake six miles long and two miles wide. Only 22½ ft. thick at its base and 5 ft. at the top, the Malpasset was, French technicians boasted on its completion, the world's thinnest major dam. It was to prove an unhappy boast...
