...State Department bulldozing a path ahead, everything was straightened out. In Moscow this week, 50,000 copies of the new Amerika, looking much like the old, will go out to Russian readers as soon as U.S.S.R. hits U.S. newsstands (20? a copy). Big and color-splashed, the 64-page, slick-paper U.S.S.R. follows the pattern of most high-class U.S. picture magazines. On the cover is a four-color shot of President Eisenhower chatting with Soviet Premier Bulganin at Geneva, and inside the Reds are on their best brochuremanship. Starting off with a plea by Bulganin for "mutual understanding," U.S.S.R...
Shortly after 3 one morning last week, nearly 500 weary members of West Germany's Bundestag straggled red-eyed out of Bonn's slick, brass-trimmed Parliament house into the bright dawn. Behind them lay 16 hours of acrimonious debate which had ended in a half-step forward for West Germany's rearmament program: the passage, by a vote of 270-166, of military conscription...

Last week the association honored New Jersey's weekly Advocate (circ. 96,881) for a crusade against firms operating on Sunday that cost...
Although this is not necessarily a Bad Thing, it must be remembered that noise is not necessarily a Good Thing. Already, Cambridge ears are be-labored by noise from running water in the morning, subways at night, and Lambrettas in between. Especially obnoxious is the Lamont bell-buzzer. Slick operating, inevitable, and indigenous to the "Lamont atmosphere," it is as well hated as anything at Harvard. Of similar pernicious tendencies, the constitutionalizing Lowell House Bell-Ringers must beware...
Right from the start the weather tampered with the odds. Rain softened the course and slowed the slick greens, creating the kinds of conditions that make par (72) beatable. Ten golfers beat it-and the one who beat it most was a self-assured, young (24) automobile salesman from San Francisco. In the first round Amateur Ken Venturi, a protege of Veteran Byron Nelson, grabbed the Masters' lead with a flashing...
