DISARMAMENT: "Each stage of disarmament," said Khrushchev in his departing Washington press conference, should be "accompanied by the development of inspection and control." The West, accustomed to Russian doubletalk on disarmament and thoroughly unimpressed by Khrushchev's big U.N. propaganda pitch, took a hard look at this statement, got ready to find out, when the nuclear-test-ban talks resume next month in Geneva, if the Russians will take a more realistic position on inspection...

...space's icy cold. Long-range planners devise methods to map the far side of the moon. Biggest single project is Vega, the U.S.'s most advanced space vehicle. Expected to fly in about 18 months, the first Vega will use an Atlas D as its first stage.

Drugs are of little value against the disease, which kills mainly by causing a tremendous loss of body fluids; in the acute diarrhea stage, as much as four gallons may be lost in a single day. Measuring the victim's need for fluids and body salts usually requires costly and complex electronic gadgets, but Namru-2 medics adapted an inexpensive Rockefeller Institute technique, found that they could learn what they needed by putting a few drops of blood into...
