...could have them inside, we could give them the straight dope on just how the firing went, and stop them guessing. Their guesses are pretty wild sometimes, and what comes out in the papers is apt to be more damaging to security than the truth. A LIFE photographer [Stan Wayman] awhile back zeroed in so close on an Atlas you could almost see the rivets on it. If we had photographers on the base, they could develop their film right here and submit it for clearance through security channels on the spot. They'd have better pictures...
THERE was a new stir around Florida's Cape Canaveral, in U.S. missileland. On the hot, palmetto-studded beach, Photographer Stan Wayman, on assignment for TIME, set up his camera, trained its long telescopic lens in the direction of four gantry towers two miles away, and waited. The wait turned into a monotonous, week-long vigil. The monotony was relieved by the arrival of his wife with an ice chest and a bottle of champagne. It was the Waymans' seventh anniversary; they celebrated it on the beach...
...days, after enduring near-100° temperatures and a rainstorm that drenched him to the skin, Photographer Wayman's patience was rewarded, and his color film caught the full flight, from start to finish, of the second test flight of the U.S.'s intercontinental ballistics missile, the Atlas.

I just had a knife and one of them .22-caliber things." Why was one inmate beaten up? "He was not too popular...
Bender recently bounced out on the platform of Dayton's Wayman African Methodist Episcopal Church, beamed down on perhaps 75 persons, and said hoarsely: "Don't worry. I'm not going to sing." He read a couple of pages of his prepared text, stopped and asked: "You don't want to hear this, do you?" At best, the audience seemed indifferent, so Bender scrapped his script, began pacing around, pounding on the rostrum, on the walls and on a nearby piano. He talked extemporaneously, mostly about singing. Said Cleveland-born Bender: "We don't hold...
