...Mario del Monaco sailed onstage in full joyous shout in his "Esultate," and from there on through his Act III explosion of jealous rage, never pausing to be subtle, kept the house ringing and the stage dark with passion. Baritone Leonard Warren as lago proved again his ability to soar dramatically or modulate to a mahogany pianissimo, invested his role with an air of sly innuendo that it often lacks. As Desdemona, velvet-voiced Soprano Victoria de los Angeles took her time warming up, but was in soaring form by the third act's grand ensemble scene; her heavy...
...manned space flight, and Putt sketched three Air Force projects headed in that direction. The first is the rocket plane X-15 (TIME, March 3), which Putt thinks can be beefed up enough to carry an orbiting human and return him to earth alive. The second is DYNA-SOAR (from "dynamic soaring"), a vehicle that will use what Putt calls "boost-glide flight." It will be boosted up like a rocket, but will have wings and controls. The pilot can permit it to orbit freely around the earth for a while, or he can bring it down into the atmosphere...
Even while on its Florida launching pad, the Army's satellite Explorer (official scientific name: 1958 Alpha) insistently broadcast its hoarse radio cry.

And there was that price; when it climbed past...
...Alps begin to rise toward Austria. They meet, they fall in love, he is sent to the front. A mortar shell catches him in the leg, and he is invalided back to Milan. She is transferred to the same hospital. Days she takes his temperature; nights she makes it soar. When he goes back to his unit, she goes away to have their baby...
