...good reasons made Michigan Republican "Fritz" Mueller a natural choice for Commerce Secretary: 1) as Assistant Secretary for three years (1955-58), then Under Secretary, and finally Acting Secretary after Strauss's resignation,'he is better equipped than anyone else to step into the top job as time runs out in the Eisenhower Administration; and 2) he should have little trouble getting Senate confirmation; his nomination as Under Secretary was quietly confirmed while the Strauss fight was going on.

...summit: the summit at Clapier pass is flat enough and big enough to hold a Hannibal-sized army. Other points that tally with old descriptions: from Clapier pass, the Po River Valley is visible, and a steep trail leads down in the direction of Turin. Hoyte's next step: to prove the route was suitable for elephant travel within the time taken by Hannibal...
...Kirkuk to the north. Before the rioting was over, some 30 Iraqi were dead, 100 wounded, and large numbers of soldiers had deserted their units to help out the pro-Communist Kurds. Alarmed by the defections, Kassem arrested six officers and 250 men, and sorrowfully took a more painful step.

The reason: they had been heavily influenced by Communists during their training period last winter, the peak of Red influence in Kassem's shaky regime...
...ammonium perchlorate and polystyrene, turn to gases that mix in a thin layer on its surface. Part of the heat generated strikes back to the fuel, gasifies more of it, and so keeps the flame burning. When this characteristic was discovered by Dr. Martin Summerfield of Princeton, the next step was to look for something that would control the gas mixture. A faster mixing would increase the burning rate, while slower mixing would decrease it. If the control were precise enough, scientists would then have what amounts to a throttle for solid fuels...
...infect monkeys with their virus, but a determined effort to do so is under way at Roswell Park Institute. Patricia, a lone baby monkey harboring polyoma virus, has her own spotless nursery where she is cared for by Nurse Althea Higgins. Drs. Stewart and Eddy have gone a vital step farther, treated their virus with rabbit serum, and made a vaccine that protects a big majority of normally susceptible animals against the polyoma virus' effects. At Sloan-Kettering Institute, Dr. Charlotte Friend has cultured a strain of mouse virus that causes leukemia in adult as well as newborn animals...
