Last week, after five grueling years in Moscow-a record for a U.S. envoy-slender (5 ft. 11 in., 150 Ibs.), baggy-eyed "Tommy" Thompson left for home and a new assignment as a special adviser on Soviet Affairs to Secretary of State Dean Rusk. Foy D. Kohler will arrive next month to take his place. Thompson's Moscow tenure had spanned the period from the short-lived honeymoon spirit of Camp David to the blowup at the Paris summit, to the Kennedy Administration's diplomatic "probes" over Berlin-altogether a mobile period, in many ways harder...
Serious Weaknesses. McNamara observed -before the Kwajalein test that it would be conducted under "controlled conditions that differ substantially from actual combat." In last week's test the onrushing Atlas ICBM actually carried a transmitter to clue the slender, 48-ft. Nike-Zeus bird in on its target.* In an actual attack, an ICBM might spew out "decoys" designed to baffle the tracking radar-as was not the case last week-or an ionospheric nuclear blast might knock out the radar altogether. "As advanced as the Nike-Zeus system is-and we believe it to be quite advanced...
North Carolina's William E. Cobb, 39, a slender, crew-cut lumber broker in Morganton, has been zealously building up his party since taking over the G.O.P. leadership in 1958. In 1960 Republican Robert L. Gavin managed to poll 46% of the vote for Governor. Cheered on by Cobb, nearly 1,000 delegates showed up at the annual state convention in March-nearly twice the expected number. Declared Cobb: "We are the nucleus of a political bombshell that can go off at any time...
...today. From Lenin to Khrushchev, Russia's Communist leaders have placed the full-bearded German Jew high on the honor roll of their country's heroes. But no man is less deserving of that dubious distinction-an irony of history recalled this week with publication of a slender book, Marx vs. Russia (Frederick Ungar Publishing...
...industrial base that rivals the U.S.'s in some respects, excels it in others. At Italy's forward-driving Fiat, computers design engine parts and direct machine tools; Fiat intends to double daily auto production within three years. At Hamburg's Willy Schlieker shipyards, a slender beam of light moves along the lines of a blueprint and automatically directs acetylene torches that slice through thick slabs of steel like butter. And the Europeans are spending freely for more automation. The Common Market Six are plowing back an average 15% of their gross national products into fixed capital...
