Chromatics & Hash. The cantata itself had been whooped up, among others, by Composer Roy Harris ("a sense of strength ... I wonder where Grandstaff heard choral singing so brilliant"), and Big Spring bigwigs had watered down the Tennessee authorities. Last week, accompanied by a grim, 200-lb., two-gunned Big Spring sheriff, R. E. Wolf, and a smiling Shine Philips, Composer Grandstaff was flown to Texas by private plane to hear his cantata sung...

Two observers track the rocket with telescopes. The information from the stations is fed automatically into an electronic brain (analogue computer) which can solve complicated equations almost instantaneously...
