...similarly doleful problem. The nightspots that serve food and nonalcoholic drinks usually lack the entertainment or dance floor that teen-agers look for. Those that have such features usually serve liquor, which is forbidden to the under-21 crowd by law in 47 states* and by the stern disapproval of many parents in all 50 states. What is more, few nightspots that specialize in adult customers are anxious to cater to the teen-ager's meager budget...
Just how well those U.S. labs accomplish their self-appointed task was spelled out last week when Physicist Sir John Cockcroft delivered a stern lecture to the British Association for the Advancement of Science. "We have a good deal to learn from some American organizations who have a consistent record of success in developing new products by objective basic and applied research," said Sir John, who spoke with the authority of a Nobel Laureate (1951) and an Atoms for Peace Award winner (1961). As an example, he singled out the Bell Telephone Laboratories in New York and New Jersey, where...
...closely as possible. Likeliest candidate is Lai Bahadur Shastri, 58, Nehru's bland Home Minister, who, while probably equal to the job, lacks the personal dynamism to .#11 it permanently.

...there was no merriment aboard the four sleek U.S. 12-meter yachts standing tall and aloof across the water. The final elimination trials were at hand, and crewmen waited tensely for the starting gun that would send them off, two by two, under the stern eye of the selection committee, in pursuit of U.S. yachting's biggest prize: the right to battle Australia's Gretel next month in defense of the III in-year-old America...
Most Frenchmen would be delighted to have Brigitte Bardot as a neighbor, but dour fellow farmers in Orne, west of Paris, remain faithful to the stern old cult that holds: "Grazing and tilling are the two breasts of France." They call BB a cumulard, or land-grabber, and bewail the fact that in recent years the actress and 37 other wealthy city slickers−among them Movie ActorJean Gabin−have all staked out exurbanite estates in Orne. This has inflated land values (current price: up to $900 an acre) and displaced tenant farmers, who complain that they...
