...Maze? What is wrong? The Eisenhower Administration's space programs are beset by the confusion of purposes and the scattering of authority. Reflecting an arbitrary division of space programs into "military" and "civilian," the nation's space effort is split up between two separate bureaucratic domains, both ineffectual: the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency, headed by Roy Johnson, sometime General Electric executive, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, headed by T.

New groups and splinter groups form with such rapidity that one Congolese leader found that the party he heads had split in two while he was flying from Leopoldville to Brussels last week.

...Little Shepherd of Coogan's Bluff, Leo Durocher, led the Giants from a position 13 1/2 games behind in August to a tie on the last day of the season. The clubs split the first two playoff encounters. In the finale, with the Giants trailing 4 to 1 going into the last of the ninth, Alvin Dark led off with a single. Another single by Don Mueller sent Dark to third, and Dark scored on a double by Whitey Lockman. Then Bobby Thomson bashed his immortal home run and the New Yorkers were home free...
