The new policy will be a voluntary and cooperative endeavor. In effect, the U.S. is moving into a power vacuum left by the decline of British power and the depletion of the British treasury. Moreover, the British and French, by attacking Suez, have all but wrecked their political acceptance in the area; the U.S. therefore took its move last week...
...Lord Mayor of London gave Joe a medal). But last week the U.S. Army said pigeon go home. The Army grounded its 1,000 birds,* planned to sell most, give the rest to zoos. Reason: advances in electronic communication made them obsolete; they have been superseded by the vacuum tube...

In place of old-style vacuum tubes, science has developed miniature tubes and tiny transistors no bigger than a shoelace tip to perform most of the same functions (TIME, March 12). The soldered-wire mazes of pre-war radio sets are giving way to electronic circuits printed on blotter-thin panels. Electric motors have shrunk to the size of a man's thumb, delicate gyroscopes to the size of a bottle stopper...
