...signal of the upturn came from the long-ailing machine-tool industry. It reported that new orders in December soared 62% over the year-ago level. One of the biggest manufacturers, Cleveland's Warner & Swasey Co., said its new orders are running 150% above the first-half 1958 clip. The construction contractors who build the industrial plants also noted a brisk rise in requests for cost estimates on new jobs...
...Some years later, another man with a Harvard connection (gloriously!),I.A. Richards, sold his first gleaming set of metrical tools. Designed primarily for processing poetry, this stunning new creation did not supplant the earlier innovation; indeed, Richards' tool set complemented the Eliot invention, and enhanced its production. Now all they need do, the scholars found, was unplug a poem, take up one or other of their finely-honed tools, twist, unscrew, and lay out the various parts of its whole, thereby finding a meaning never before revealed. (In fairness, these scholars took up their tools, put the poem back together...
...smaller cars. There were many reports out of Detroit and surreptitious pictures (left), but last week there were no longer any doubts. The Big Question: What will they look like and when will they come out? TIME'S Detroit bureau talked to dozens of auto executives, suppliers, tool and diemakers.

While all the designing and other work on the new cars has been done in the deepest secrecy, details have been leaked out by tool-and diemakers and other suppliers. With this help, plus sneak shots of a Chevy model on the proving grounds, Motor Life, the auto trade magazine (TIME, Oct. 21, 1957), has put together its own preview of the new cars. The automakers have brushed off the sketches as speculative since...
...Plus Zero. Nehru himself, whose dreams have always run to government-run industry, giant dams, and steel mills and machine-tool plants, has come to realize that industrialization is being dragged to a full stop by the deadweight of the impoverished villages. He went to Gangad to dramatize his full backing of Bhave's plans of Bhoodan (gifts of land) and Gramdan (pooling of all community resources) in the hope that they will build a future of healthy peasant cooperatives. Speaking to audiences of thousands, as he walked from city to village to city, Bhave expressed his idea...
