The U.S. has only three operational ICBMs-three Atlases on launching pads at California's Vandenberg A.F.B. The U.S.S.R. has more-ten, says one Washington guesstimate-but not enough to add up to a meaningful weight on the scales of power. By mid-1961, the U.S.'s total will be up to approximately 72 (four Atlas squadrons with ten missiles apiece, two Polaris subs, each carrying 16 missiles), and the U.S.S.R.'s up to about 100.

Herbert J. Spiro, assistant professor of Government, will return next year from study in Nyasaland, and Emerson himself will make a trip to Africa later in the year...

Picture news ranges from comprehensive coverage of major events to one-shot side-lights that add up to a sophisticated sampling of the week's events. Backstopping the pictures is a concise commentary that follows Ingram's belief in "writing so that 'he who runs may read...
