Beneath Dignity. To calm fears among U.S. allies that the U.S. and U.S.S.R. might get together on a Big Two deal, the President made it clear at his special press conference last week that his discussions with Khrushchev would be "exploratory rather than any attempt at negotiation." At the NATO Council meeting in Paris, the U.S.'s NATO Ambassador Randolph Burgess assured the allies that the Eisenhower-Khrushchev meetings would not be a Big Two summit conference...

Last summer, in the line of his regular duty, Thaler directed the Navy's Argus Project, in which atom bombs were exploded 300 miles above the South Atlantic (TIME, March 30). In Washington, some 7,000 miles away, a Project Tepee set picked up the shots. The same set had also successfully registered the Teak and Kettle high-altitude thermonuclear...
...with Indians, merely stands for the initials of "Thaler's Project." The physicist more or less backed into long-range detection through his involvement in nuclear testing: now director of the field projects branch of the Office of Naval Research and chairman of the Navy's special weapons effects planning group, he has watched almost every U.S. nuclear test explosion in the past ten years...
