...Suez-Size Sessions. By the time he got to Moscow, Wilson realized that he could no longer hold off another prompt round of emergency economic measures. Returning to London one morning last week, he called his ministers together for the longest Cabinet session since the Suez crisis. As they discussed measures, reports circulated that Britain's reserves in July alone had fallen by perhaps $1 billion, reducing reserves near a dangerously low $2 billion. Thus, it was in an atmosphere of extreme urgency that he went before a crowded House of Commons with his suggestions for a cure...

We had support from millions of high school and college students...
...Some Planning" Superintendent Orlando Wilson assigned 60 men to the case, and after sifting the scene for five hours, they came up with three main clues. One was a sweat-soaked man's T shirt, size 34-38, found on the floor of the living room outside the kitchen.

...worst at Yosemite, other national parks are feeling the pressure. Wyoming's Yellowstone ought to be able to handle its more than 2,000,000 annual visitors without crowding. After all, it's the biggest park in the system, with 3,400 square miles-almost triple the size of Yosemite. Yet most of the campers are determined to set up at Old Faithful, and the experience of Navy Chief Harold Loveless is typical: "We moved into an empty campsite, and within 15 minutes we were surrounded by campers, all doubling up on the same site.

...diameter copper tube housed in a concrete tunnel and buried 25 ft. underground to protect scientists and any bystanders from its fierce radiation. At one end, an electron beam is generated in much the same manner as the beam inside a home TV picture tube. Injected into a nickel-size hole that runs the length of the copper tube, the beam's electrons are immediately accelerated by 6,000,000-watt microwave pulses generated by 245 klystrons-giant, ultrahigh-frequency radio tubes spaced evenly in the structure above the entire length of the tunnel. Riding the crest...
