Northern Rhodesia. In a more hopeful mood, Northern Rhodesians trooped to the polls last week to elect new members of the legislative council, under new provisions that increased the number of registered black voters from an absurd four in 1954 to 7,617 (out of a total black population of 2,500,000). Once again the basic issue was whether there should be a Federation at all. Burly Federal Prime Minister Sir Roy Welensky, who in the face of increasingly insistent African demands has grown less and less keen about any actual partnership, plunged into the territorial campaign with...
...such an intense and violent campaign of discredit against Cuba been waged throughout the Americas. We must deprive the enemy of his principal weapon of attack." When would "the proceedings" end? Not, apparently, last week. Before Castro's firing squads went another 28 Batista men, bringing the grand total to 451.

The Meta-Mechanisms were constructions of stovepipe-black sheet metal from which sharp, whitewashed metal fragments on wire stems sprouted like weird abstract flowers. Driven by hidden electric motors, they jiggled, skittered and bounced. Some spun like mad pinwheels, others rotated gravely like segments of an ear trying vainly to reassemble itself. Most were accompanied by sound effects as hidden camshafts thumped cowbells or old teakettles. The opening was notable for three eulogies read simultaneously by three admirers...
