Hardly had the rose petals and champagne corks been swept up from the royal wedding of King Constantine and Princess Anne-Marie than the Greeks were back at their favorite political sport of monarchy baiting. The main target was not the popular newlyweds, still off on their island honeymoon, but the bridegroom's pert mother, German-born Queen Frederika, 47, whose good looks and outspoken views have embroiled her in controversy ever since she came to Greece 26 years ago as the bride of the late King Paul...
...Killer on Target. Developed for the Air Force by Hughes Aircraft, the 12½ ft. AIM can knock down either aircraft or missiles, and goes about its work at a top speed of 2,000 m.p.h. The AIM drops clear of its parent aircraft, then ignites and zooms off toward its target...
...Force gave out a brief performance profile of the A11 as interceptor: the two-man (pilot and fire-control officer) plane, for example, can fly from Minneapolis to the northern tip of Hudson's Bay in an hour, and still have enough fuel to return to base.

For all its old-fashioned air, though, from its twin-boom fuselage to its lofty, boxlike...
...Auto Workers' convention in Atlantic City, demanded and won a tough approach toward G.M. in this year's bargaining. When auto negotiations began in earnest, Reuther reserved his sharpest barbs for G.M., calling it a "huge, dehumanized production machine." When Reuther picked Chrysler as his first strike target, union members from G.M. accused him of selling them out because of his fear of "the big one." Reuther succumbed to the strike mood of G.M.'s workers, many of whom walked off their jobs hours before the Friday morning strike deadline was actually reached...
