...Pennsylvania (81 votes) got the silent treatment. Governor David Lawrence, who has steadfastly refused to look in Kennedy's direction or to relax his grip on his restive delegation, was silent too. Kennedy's hope was that if he could show Lawrence the ears and tail of New York and California, Lawrence would put aside his misgivings about a fellow Roman Catholic's ability to win the presidency, and capitulate...
...Idlewild International Airport last week, Pan American World Airways opened the world's most striking terminal-a $12 million glass-and-steel circular structure that is topped off by an immense, umbrellalike, cantilevered roof. With a 114-ft. overhang, the roof can shelter all but the tail sections of six jetliners at one time. Pan Am's is the fourth individual terminal to be opened at Idlewild. American, United and Eastern are already in operation. By 1962 the North-west-Braniff-Northeast building will be up. So will Eero Saarinen's spectacular gull-like TWA terminal. Altogether...

Presumably, the Russians were claiming that the ship then fluttered in for a not-too-damaging crash landing on its own. Whether it did, or whether Powers flew his plane all the way down, this version neatly demolished Khrushchev's story that Powers had been afraid...
...after he had claimed he would be racing for another 15 years, Driver Harry Schell, a perennial 39, was killed when his Cooper spun off Britain's Silverstone course on a trial run for the International Trophy Race. Born in Paris of American parents, Schell fought as a tail gunner in the Finnish air force against Russia in 1939, later earned a reputation for being as carefree off the track as he was prudent on it, made a career of finishing well up in the pack but seldom in front. Said Britain's Stirling Moss: "Harry...
