...commendable and well-kept secrecy, the U.S. fired-and guided-an 85-ft., 8,600-lb. Atlas intercontinental missile into orbit. Admittedly, the shot of the heavy bird, with its voice-receiving and transmitting equipment, was a calculated counter-symbol to the Russian Sputniks (see Space). But in the sweep of time it symbolized far more: the U.S. march into space, programed long before Sputnik stirred up the free world's self-doubters, was headed into a period of historic achievements that had important meanings both in space and on earth...

...city, men, women and machines make textiles, copper tubing, shoes, mattresses, Nescafe, paper bags, fertilizer, matches, glass, plumbing supplies, corn sirup, and the oils of cottonseed, peanuts and sesame. In the city are the concrete skeleton of a high new medical center, a sprawling new market, the circular sweep of a new sports arena, the glassy modern blankness of expensive new houses in 16 separate real estate developments...
