Unless the triumphant Los Alamos men decide to give Kiwi-A a second full-power run, last week's test will probably be its finish. After a few days, when radioactivity dies down somewhat, the unshielded reactor will be hauled along a railroad track by a remote-controlled locomotive to a special MAD (Maintenance, Assembly and Disassembly) shop, where mechanical hands will take it apart. The condition of its still deadly interior parts (examined by periscope, TV, or through thick, transparent shields) will tell the Los Alamos men much about how to build nuclear rockets that actually...
Magnificent Harvest. Greeted by President Giovanni Gronchi and a 101-cannon salute, De Gaulle, a paunchy but majestic figure, made his triumphant way through the cheering streets of Milan. The French Tricolor fluttered from windows; there were Arches of Triumph made out of flowers, and at least one made out of cake.

Near Solferino, he and President Gronchi lunched at a villa where Napeleon III and Victor Emmanuel gloated over a victory banquet that had been set for the Emperor...

A few seconds later, the U.N. barrage blasts the bunker to rubble. Morale collapses. Lieut, demons tonguelashes his men into the firing line, counts what is left of them (35 men), calls up his small reserve, charges the top of the hill and takes...
...Blough, the issue is vital in view of the global challenge facing U.S. industry. Says he: "We are only in the first skirmishes of a battle of production that is destined to rage for many decades. Whether or not America emerges triumphant depends in large measure on the virility of American industry. And industry's strength depends directly on our ability to win the understanding of Government, of labor leaders, of investors in a national effort to encourage the investment of capital necessary to develop and acquire the finest tools of production on earth...
