In clipped British accents, he asked Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian Zorin to drop his resolution condemning Hammarskjold for exceeding his powers in the Congo. Stunned, Zorin meekly complied, then sat in frozen silence as the Assembly, by a historic vote of 70 to 0, gave Hammarskjold a ringing endorsement and demanded that no nation ship arms to the Congo except through...

Exasperated, U.S. Delegate Eaton rose to complain that Zorin had used that phrase "for 135 times since the start of the conference. Let's quit hollow words and get to real steps and measures." Zorin's reply was surprisingly mild, and the West was heartened when...

Blagonravov told in precise scientific terms how Lunik III was oriented by small gas jets to take its famous pictures of the far side of the moon (TIME, Nov. 9). Physicist Valerian I. Krasovsky gave a summary of scientific information that Soviet space shots have gathered so far. The Russians also showed a 25-minute movie of the behavior of animals sent aloft in rockets. Most fascinating shot, taken inside a nose cone: a rat, in a condition of weightlessness, performing...
