...weather this Fourth of July weekend is warm, and sunny, the U.S. people will go to their zoos by the hundreds of thousands. From New York's 251-acre Bronx Zoo to San Diego's magnificently landscaped Balboa Park, they will wander along the tree-shaded walks, peering into cages, gawking over moats, throwing peanuts to the elephants and popcorn to the bears, lolling, sweating, drinking, eating-enjoying, in sum, what is one of the most universal of summer pastimes...
Hardheaded patience and firmness the West will need in dealing with Russia; but understanding and compassion it will need too. To consider Russia "with the heart" means to sense two stories-the story of her great warm people, and the story of the cold bureaucracy of lies and murder which grips the people's lives.

Well below these speeds, the "sonic barrier" makes itself felt, jamming an airplane's controls, destroying the lift of its wings. The P-80R got up to Mach...

Marie's portrayal of the opera's title character has had a lot to do with The Medium's success. She is by no means...
Truman Doctrine (II). Harry Truman was a little hoarse from a cold picked up in Kansas City. But he had warm words for his audience, for the French in Canada, for Canada as a whole and for U.S.Canadian relations. Time & again he was interrupted by the desk-thumping of M.P.s and handclaps from the deskless Senators...
