...fiery debate over whether the U.S. should halt nuclear tests is flaring up as the nation gets ready for this summer's tests at Eniwetok. (Somehow it never seems to flare when the Russians are testing.) Last week, as Washington waited for Russia to strike the propaganda pose of unilaterally halting its own tests, the British Labor Party's Hugh Gaitskell, a likely future Prime Minister, called upon Britain to declare a unilateral test ban of its own. In St. Louis, Washington University's left-leaning Physicist Edward U. Condon predicted that because of radioactive fallout from...

In the swirling confusion, a Ferrari rode right up the rear end of a Jaguar, and both cars spun off the track. A little Stanguellini somersaulted off course and somehow landed right side up. The only serious accident saw General Motors Executive Chester Flynn spin his Ferrari out of an Sturn, tear through a barbed-wire fence and flip over twice. He was taken to a St. Petersburg hospital with a concussion, badly lacerated eye and assorted broken bones...
...Author Taylor's carefully researched Western history is too grim to blend with comedy. But much of the book is engaging and bouncy, particularly when, at journey's end, Jaimie is a boy no longer, having discovered what it is men see in women: they "look somehow larger undressed than dressed, both forward and rear...
