...wing attacks states' rights-the other defends them. At one extreme is the wing whose campaigns were largely settled in Southern primaries held weeks ago. At the other extreme is the stronger wing dominated by political radicals. These self-styled liberals are the ones who really challenge sane, sound, forward-looking government in the U.S. . . . You and I know the irresistible impulse of the political radical. It is to squander money-your money. Republicans practice efficiency and thrift . . . dependable government . . . trustworthy, progressive government...
...Democrats are radicals, the electorate is told; they are "hare brained spendthrifts;" they lack the "straight-forward, honest, sound and sane principles which make America great." By making radicals and liberals appear one and the same, the President of the United States is trying to make "liberal" a dirty word...

But nobody ever complained about the acoustics: Architect Cady had the good sense to face the auditorium with wood and to build an egg-shaped masonry sound chamber beneath the orchestra pit.

Since such speeds cannot be maintained in the lower atmosphere, the X-15 will be carried to 35,000 ft. by a B-52, will then climb to an altitude of 100 miles. Burning liquid ammonia and liquid oxygen...
...fascinating rhythm blared last week from Chicago's Seeburg Corp., the world's biggest jukebox maker. Three years ago Seeburg gave mankind the 200-selection machine. This year the sound in Seeburg's gaudy new juke is stereophonic. To the jukebox industry, the new sound is only a little newer than the two young men who call the tune for Seeburg: President Delbert W. Coleman and Board Chairman Herbert J. Siegel. The corporation (fiscal 1958 sales: about $25 million) makes not only jukeboxes but most of Western Union's facsimile equipment, plus key electronic components...
