Died. Douglas McKay, 66, lifetime Oregon Republican politician who became President Eisenhower's first (1953-56) Secretary of the Interior; of a heart ailment; in Salem, Ore. From a humble beginning, spare, jaunty McKay built up a political career along with a thriving Chevrolet agency, rose from state senator to Governor (1949-53). Wary of big government, McKay trimmed operations at Interior, incurred the wrath of trigger-sensitive public-power supporters, none more relentless than his fellow Oregonian Senator Wayne Morse who beat him handily in the 1956 Senate race...

The ensuing uproar was capped when Edward Root, 16, of St. Petersburg, jotted a formula on the blackboard, ran some figures through a table computer, did some paper work and announced that a bridge player could expect such a hand once in 635,013,559,600 deals...
...novel and fascinating. He soon discovers that the temple Superior's path of self-enlightenment is strewn with cigarettes, sake and geishas. Mizoguchi's behavior is scarcely more admirable. A diabolical, clubfooted fellow acolyte convinces Mizoguchi that immorality is one way to restore life "to its original state of pure energy." After this, it is only a step in Mizoguchi's simple, fevered brain to the proposition that a great crime-the burning of the Golden Temple-will give him a sense of identity and rebirth...
