...Malaya, deceptively gentle-mannered Prime Minister Tengku Abdul Rahman, 56, announced that he was resigning after a two-month vacation because "the time has come for me to go among the people again." Rahman's reasoning: he has ruled for the past four years through an alliance of three parties that have grown flabby for want of opposition. (Even the Communist guerrillas in the Malayan jungles are down to an official 347.) With federation-wide elections due this summer, Rahman is making a strategic withdrawal in order to stump the villages and make doubly sure that his own party...
...grey overcast, plopped its no tons into the warm Atlantic 300 miles downrange (maximum hoped-for range: 9,000 miles). The U.S.'s first successful firing of a second-generation ICBM (after Atlas) brought cheers from airmen and Titan's Martin Co. crew, weary from a two-month fight against the gremlins that unaccountably popped its umbilical cord and played other tricks on five previous countdowns. Since two previous firing fizzles took place on the launching pad, the crewmen could even boast-and did-that theirs was the first long-range U.S. missile to perform perfectly on first...

Stocks of unsold '58s have been whittled from 900,000 to a four-year July low of 672,000, which is only a two-month supply at current selling rates. (While automakers reduced January-July production from 3,913,043 last year to 2,574,566 this year, six-month sales have gone down at a much slower rate, from about 3,000,000 last year to 2,300,000 this year.) If a strike...
...After a two-month search, the University plucked John M. Yovicsin, the young (and successful) coach at Gettysburg, and hired him to replace Jordan. Yovicsin's first team was badly hobbled by injuries, yet won three games, gave Princeton a bad scare before bowing, 28 to 21, but just did not have enough for Yale. The result was a humiliating 54-0 beating in New Haven...
