...made him a $5,000-a-year administrative assistant after he delivered the hill country again in 1950, and after Faubus complained: "I'm broke. I need a payin' job." A McMath aide recalls the first time he saw Faubus: "He came down here in a $10 suit that ended somewhere north of his socks. He was chewing a matchstick, and I hardly ever saw him after that without a matchstick or a straw in his mouth...
Twice before, cantankerous old (88) U.S. District Judge William H. Atwell had refused to order school integration in Dallas-and twice before he had been reversed by higher courts. Last week the suit brought by parents of 23 Negro schoolchildren came before Judge Atwell again. This time the judge had little choice.

RCA is pushing him with the trade on two newly released singles: Just Look, Don't Touch, She's Mine and Love A, Love A Lover...
...cooled and contracted, and Simons began to drop at 500 ft. a minute toward the storms that looked as harmless as tiny powder-puffs. Soon the balloon was down to 68,400 ft., and the temperature inside the gondola dropped to 34° F. Simons pulled on a warming suit over his figure-hugging space suit, dumped some ballast (including two spent batteries), and climbed back to safety. An hour before sunrise, he radioed a plea to the ground: "I've got to get some sleep!" Permission was granted; the gondola, conditioned by pressurized oxygen, helium and nitrogen...
