...Firing squads shot 46 Batista "war criminals," bringing to 362 the eight-week unofficial total-38 short of the 400 maximum once set by Fidel Castro...
...that they actually have something to sell. Feature films, said Sindlinger, will soon be classified by their expected box-office gross, and will fall into three groups: 1) under $2,000,000, 2) from $5,000,000 to $6,000,000, 3) from $9,000,000 up. Although the total number of movie theaters in the U.S. has dropped from 18,719 to 11,200 in the past two years, Sindlinger insisted that "blockbusters," the $9,000,000-and-up extravaganzas, can earn practically unlimited profits if properly promoted...
British teen-agers have taken to the window dressing fervently enough to buy a total of 1,140,000 records the five have made, including more than a million by the Presley of the group, gangling, 19-year-old Marty Wilde. Two years ago, Wilde was just plain Cockney Reg Smith, plunking away for $1.40 a night in a London club.

South Viet Nam's 1,150,000 Catholics, including President Ngo Dinh Diem, are a small minority (total population: 15 million), but they are the best-organized religious group in a nation of strife-torn Buddhists. As he moved coolly through blazing heat, the 63-year-old cardinal in scarlet robes and wide-brimmed shepherd's hat was a symbol eyed by the entire nation. Thousands of non-Catholics lined...
Last year U.S. farmers seeded 90% of their corn acreage with hybrid corn, got a total yield of 3.4 billion bu.-750 million bu. higher than they could have produced with regular corn. The wonders of hybrid corn are still surprising the scientists. For example, last year Illinois Farmer James Holderman decided to try a new type of hybrid corn, even though the experts warned him it was not suitable for his land. He doubled the amount of fertilizer, planted the rows closer together, and his yield jumped to 175 bu. an acre, compared to an average...
