Dulles' statement did not drown out other talk that the U.S. and Russia would probably face each other at summit parley II in 1958. Topflight Washington correspondents speculated that the U.S. might be ready to change its position on nuclear-weapons tests, which was that the U.S. would not stop the tests unless the U.S.S.R. also stopped nuclear-weapons production. The new line: after this spring's nuclear tests at Eniwetok Atoll, the U.S. will know more about "clean bombs'' for limited wars, hence will have less to lose by agreeing to a stoppage of tests...
THIS is the rite of space that is performed day and night at the Air Force Missile Test Center at Cape Canaveral, the point from which the first U.S. man-possibly the first man in the world -will journey to the moon and beyond. Cape Canaveral is the U.S. Spaceport of the Future, and today it is in full-dress rehearsal-a monumental, $370 million stage where, day and night, civilian and military scientists and technicians work with freshly blueprinted tools over the incredibly complex mechanisms of space travel. With each launching of an Atlas, Jupiter or Thor-though flames...
...strange new language. Last week Variety lumped together some specimens. There is the deodorant fortified with TD-4, the Confectioners 10-X sugar, the toothpaste containing WD-9, the motor oil boasting an "active ingredient" called Z-7. Other fortifiers, pharmaceutical gimmicks and syllabic concoctions from Madison Avenue test tubes: Gardol, Estron, Lurex, Lumium, Vionate, Bio-Dyne, Rynosec and Purscent, Liquifix, Radionics. Opaque-Ion, Neo-Synephrine, Hydrolin, SLS, Theradan, Sarthionate and Thorexin...
...numbers and competition," Marson later admitted, "it is, of course, now harder to get into college. But this is a relative thing. Scholarship requirements are much more lax now than they were 20 years ago. In fact, admission criteria have nothing to do with scholarship. They are based on tests that do not test scholarship. In the state universities, it's even worse. All you have to do in most of them is to breathe to gain admission...
...anything good about me," he once told a reporter, "nobody will believe it." He got the most out of his staff by forcing them to defend their ideas against withering blasts of personal abuse, vulgarity and threats, on the theory that only the best ideas could withstand such a test. His methods paid off. While other film companies were bending under the Depression, Columbia showed increasing profits by turning out such topflight pictures as It Happened One Night and Mr. Deeds Goes to Town. Harry Cohn borrowed stars and paid them by the day, concentrated on low-cost productions, stayed...
