...value of the D.F.L. endorsement for U.S. Senator was unusually high. The recession was hitting diversified Minnesota later than the rest of the nation and the D.F.L.'s labor support was vigorous and active. Despite the farm upturn, the D.F.L. was heartened by an increase in National Farmers Union membership since 1956 from 35,000 to 41,000 families. Beyond that, the D.F.L. Senate ticket would be helped mightily by the fact that popular Governor Orville Freeman, running for his third term, is considered such a lead-pipe cinch that the leadership-starved Minnesota Republicans have yet to find...
...make up a dazzling catalogue that any country could boast about. Sputniks and ICBMs aside, Russia is pushing ahead at flank speed in vast areas of science, and of all programs put through for the International Geophysical Year, its is the biggest and most ambitious. The Soviet Union has the largest (10 billion synchrocyclotron volts) particle accelerator in the world-nearly twice as powerful as the one at Berkeley, Calif., though it has not yet lived up to its expensive expectations. Russia put its first pure-jet airliner into operation two years and more before the U.S., and M.I.T. Physicist...
Golden Cage. The intellectual climate of the Soviet Union is conditioned to make a scientist out of every Russian boy who thinks he has the wit to qualify.

The 17-year-old graduate of the best of Russia's ten-year secondary schools is reckoned to be at least two years ahead of his American counterpart in scientific attainment; he has had ten years of mathematics, six years...
...Russians made good use of the West in their all-out effort to surpass the West. The academy's All-Union Institute of Scientific and Technical Information, which Nesmeyanov founded in 1953, publishes, 48 times a year, a periodical of abstracts of major scientific papers from all over the world. The companion Institute of Scientific Information puts out 400,000 abstracts a year. U.S. efforts in the abstracting field are puny by comparison: of the 2,200 science journals published in the Soviet, the U.S. translates only 200. Americans who have been to Russia consider this scientific clearing house...
...beside Prince Feisal and Lawrence of Arabia toward the ancient desert capital of Amman. Last week, still pursuing his old dream of an Arab nation filling the Fertile Crescent from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf, General Nuri asSaid, 70, returned to Amman to put into being a new union, the Arab Federation, joining the kingdoms of Iraq and Jordan...
