...astonishing accuracy. It can trace graceful arabesques of passion or float from note to note with liquid ease. Most remarkable, it does not thin out, as do most coloratura voices, into shrill parody in the upper register.

Whether this upward trend continues will determine how the battle lines will be drawn when Kennedy formally asks for legislation to discontinue silver as currency backing in the next session of Congress.

Today, General Dynamics has its Atlas, Boeing Airplane Co. its Dyna-Soar and Minuteman, Douglas its Skybolt, and McDonnell Aircraft Corp. its Mercury capsule. Lockheed Aircraft Corp., which is the prime contractor for the Discoverer, Midas and Samos satellites, gets more than half its sales from missilery and space.
