...Hammarskjold landed in Cairo wearing a forbearing expression, Gamal Abdel Nasser, colossus of the canal, laid down his terms. They were enough to make the angry angrier, and Hammarskjold's task harder. But if there is little promise of a satisfyingly early comeuppance for Nasser, there are slow squeezes at work.

...last year-and they are already phasing some missiles into the line in place of conventional equipment. In 1954 about 10% of Air Force procurement funds went for missiles; by 1960 the figure will be up to 50%. And the face of U.S. industry is changing as airframe manufacturers slow to develop missile lines are feeling the pinch, while the 17 contractors and 200 subcontractors on the ICBM program are booming to the point where, for example, one twelve-year-old newcomer named Aerojet-General has piled up a backlog of $400 million...
...stand point of idiomatic instrumental technique. But the outside movements, despite their fast tempo and apparent busyness, indulged in series of effects and cliches, with a resulting lack of cohesion; the finale seemed to be a chain of rousing stretta-like conclusions without a beginning or a middle. Slow movements are normally a major stumbling block for modern composers, even the established ones, but here Bavicchi had much success: he turned out a good, sustained adagio that was well planned and evinced a fine over-all curve...
Opera's cheeriest cherub, Baritone Robert Weede, 53, euphoric title roler of the Broadway hit musical The Most Happy Fella, recalled his own slow rise in music.

...medium-bomber production. To replace it, G.E. has a new J79 engine (about 15,000-lb. thrust) for Convair's supersonic B58 bomber and Lockheed's F-104A Starfighter. Yet the four-jet B58 Hustler is far from quantity production, and the F104 program may be slowed down (TIME, Feb. 25). Curtiss-Wright is little better off. The company has big commercial orders for its 3,700-h.p. Wright Turbo Compound piston engine, but was slow to push into jets, has only one big seller in the relatively low-powered (about 7,000-lb. thrust) J65 engine...
