...Courthouse in Manhattan's Foley Square, the defense wound up the second week of presenting its case in what has already become the longest criminal trial before a jury in any federal court. The previous record was set in 1949, when Judge Harold B. Medina, since elevated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, presided over the celebrated seven-month trial of eleven leaders of the U.S. Communist Party. The current trial was already eight months old when the Government rested its case...
...effort at marking the frontier, and the border with Tibet has generally been classified as "undefined." Red China was most interested in Ladakh's northeastern corner, where lies the Aksai Chin plateau, empty of nearly everything but rocks, sky and silence.

The revision of depreciation allowances is now reckoned to cost the Treasury another $1 billion in 1962-63. Congress also failed to enact the higher postal rates on which the Administration counted to garner about $500 million in revenue, and its repudiation of the farm program meant bigger Government outlays...
...photography of dinosaurs and other enormous beasts; of a heart ailment; in Hollywood. O'Brien's monsters were, of course, tiny movable models photographed a few frames at a time, a technique best remembered in his 1933 classic King Kong, in which a mammoth ape invaded Manhattan, wound up atop the Empire State Building batting away U.S. fighter planes like so many gnats...
