...Washington last week: the IRBMs would be under the control of the Supreme Allied Commander for Europe (currently, the U.S.'s Norstad). Since only SACEUR could order the weapons into war, no individual nation, bent on some strictly nationalistic adventure, could toss them off into the wild blue yonder. NATO's IRBM launchers would be manned by European troops-but they would be under NATO's exclusive command...
Admitting he could not hit the 1960 target date, G.A.F. Chief Josef Kammhuber, 60, a wartime night-fighter pilot, predicted, with a confident look into the wild blue yonder: "They will certainly be ready by 1962." That depended, however, on the war-thinned younger generation, about whom a former Luftwaffe ace complains: "When we were young, we were speed-crazy. Now the boys tell me, 'Jets are too fast. We don't want one foot in the grave.' " Old Luftwaffe pilots, now in their late 30s or early 40s, prove slower to train than their opposite...
...Knowland's vacant seat in the Senate. Even in a state that already has a Knowland and a Nixon, Goodie thinks about 1960, and that potent weapon, the 70-man state delegation to the G.O.P.

Even a fox-sly gossip columnist fails to frame him and concedes that he must wait for revenge until "six straight men send him along the route to the great producer up yonder." The unpleasant honesty of the climax makes up for most of the play's faults: after pulling down the worlds of those around him, Sammy ends up more on top than ever...
...With the Aqua-Lung, which he invented in collaboration with an engineer named Emile Gagnan, a 46-year-old captain in the French navy, Jacques-Yves Cousteau, provided the wings on which both Sunday sportsmen and serious scientists have gone soaring with a new freedom into the wild green yonder. In The Silent World, which since its publication in 1953 has sold almost 500,000 copies in the U.S. alone, Cousteau composed a poetic primer of underwater exploration. In this film Cousteau has tried to fill the screen with the same "rapture of the great depths" that surged through...
