...Tireless Cinecomedian Danny (Hans Christian Anderson) Kaye loped into Manhattan, accepted from tireless Internationalist Eleanor Roosevelt and the American Association for the United Nations an award for "his unique accomplishments in aiding the children of the world." Volunteering as a U.N. "ambassador at large" last year, Kaye spent two months hopping some 40,000 miles about Asia, worked and entertained mightily for the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. The ceremony marked the prelude to nationwide observance (except in Utah-TIME, Oct. 17) of United Nations...

Nearly everything was handled by the "K" system, the fabulous new Air Force apparatus that automatically navigates, flies the plane and releases the bomb. From a sounding device came...
Professorially absent-minded about most other things, Stapp at work is a man possessed. Hand, mind and eye move with tireless precision. His energy is a constant challenge to subordinates, for he is a man who knows what he wants to do and prefers to do it himself. He may well be the only happy "light" colonel in uniform. "A light colonel," he argues, "can work with his hands. A full colonel gets carried around too much...
