...oils, turned out at a stupendous clip in the last seven months. The scene has changed from the gloomy digs he used to occupy with his wife and two children in a house he got rent-free from his in-laws. Recently elected an associate of the august Royal Academy, and sporting a new beard, Bratby has come up in the world. Hit, new background is his own rambling, Victorian house, with cracked swimming pool, in London's Blackheath district. But the exuberant pictures of the disorderly, newspaper-strewn interiors and the sunflower-choked garden (often with the face...

At those speeds the Zeus encounters enormous heat and stress, and it broke up on its maiden flight in August.

Personal income in August dropped only about $2.6 billion from...

In doing so it modified the sharp criticism of a similar resolution passed the year before by the 1958 Student Council Report on NSA. The 1959 report says that "the Algerian resolution is acceptable in so far as it is a protest against certain acts of the French government," but claims that it goes beyond the role of "students as students" when it advocates a specific political solution, the independence of Algeria, since the stu- dent problem is only a small part...
