Satyajit Ray also turns his rented camera on pastoral symbolism, but it seems unconscious symbolism--a tribute to his art. Water flies darting on a pond, water lilies lifting wildly in a sudden gale, warm monsoon rain spattering on the attractive face of young Durga--these are scenes of compelling subtlety and beauty...
...projects in fiscal 1960-more than half of it for the military-actually represents a cut that would provide only $14.5 million in new money for civilian power reactors, v. $74 million authorized last year. AEC would drop six projects intended for 1959, including a 100,000-kw. heavy-water reactor, an experimental reactor fueled by molten salt, a small-scale pressurized water reactor, and three small experimental reactors. In their place, it would add six entirely new projects at about the same cost...
...most ambitious project: Salton City, 150 miles southeast of Los Angeles. By the desert's curious standards, Salton City is something of a bargain.

Thus far, 11,000 lots have been developed with streets and water (from a 658-ft.-deep artesian well), and close to 7,000 have been sold despite their high ($2,000 to $4,000) price tags...
