...been nationalized by Jack Paar (28 appearances). Despite the cash struggle going on between Paar and Ed Sullivan, she performed last week on the Paar show, even though she is scheduled to tape a Sullivan show this week. Currently she is at Greenwich Village's Bon Soir, an underground cigarette oven so sophisticated, she claims, that "a nine-year-old boy came in here the other night, and when left...
...system of test stations. The system is to extend throughout the world, and will be operated, by an international commission composed of Western, Communist, and neutral nations. Test stations will use seismographs, which accurately register virtually all explosions in the atmosphere and underwater and a certain proportion of those underground. These test instruments register the difference between man made and natural disturbances within a certain range of accuracy, the exceptions being small underground nuclear blasts. In order to determine the nature of such disturbances, the plan calls for on-site inspections within the national boundaries of the treaty nations...
...originally held out for a single treaty that would make provisions for all future ramifications; the West preferred signing separate treaties for each separate stage of agreement as it is reached. In spring of 1960 agreement was reached on a controlled ban of explosions, underwater tests, air tests, and underground tests producing a seismographic signal in excess of 4.75. This figure represented the point below which scientists could not agree on the nature of the disturbance. The plan also made provision for a progressive lowering of this "threshold level" as new research made better detection possible...
...dark when the raiding party reached the poor Moscow neighborhood where the informer had said there was underground activity. Before the raiders, a sagging frame house stood dark and deserted in the snow, waiting for the wreckers. In the light of a feeble bulb at the entrance, two women were sawing wood.

"There's nobody here but me and my sister and my old mother-in-law." The raiders...
There can be no relaxing after a plant is built. New processes that can shave fractions of a cent off the costs are coming along so fast that engineers are constantly redesigning plants. At its Baton Rouge plant, Humble Oil at first buried its pipes neatly underground. But it has dug them up so often for remodeling that it now has them running on easy to get at racks above ground...
