...through seven years (1935-42) at Pennsylvania's Negro Lincoln University-and later at the University of Pennsylvania.

Yet his outspoken policy of "positive neutralism" leaned clearly toward the West's patient methods...
President Eisenhower's three legislative "imperatives" met with their inevitable ups and downs on Capitol Hill, but as Congress pushed toward August adjournment, all three were on the way up-bruised but not lamed. Congressional adventures of the Big Three last week...

All other U.S. satellites were launched toward the equator to take advantage of the earth's 1,000-m.p.h. spin. Explorer IV soared northeast along the New England coast, into a looping orbit which will span more of the earth's surface-including most of Russia...
