"Crush the despot and save Lebanon!" cried chunky ex-Premier Saeb Salam...
...with the U.S. is probably higher now than at any time since he first became Secretary of State. This stubborn, proud man has, in a comparatively short span of six months, seen both his stubbornness and his pride vindicated."

...brighter side, most consumer and service industries were booming. The world's biggest money earner. American Telephone & Telegraph, which installed 450,000 new phones in the quarter (down from 775,000 a year ago), reported profits of $2.76 a share (up from $2.63 a year ago). International Business Machines rang up record sales, and its quarterly profits soared to $1.98 a share from $1.78 for 1957's first quarter, when there were fewer shares outstanding. Revlon's earnings edged up slightly to a new record. Fast-moving Polaroid's net jumped to 31?, up from...
