Tornadoes are notoriously unpredictable. It is impossible to tell, just by looking, whether a tall black cloud will merely drop a shower, or whether it will lash out with a twister. Last week the U.S. Weather Bureau was on the trail of a promising way of telling in advance which of the tall black clouds are apt to be pregnant with tornadoes...
...meeting was important, no doubt, and the importance was enhanced by recent free-world defeats in Indo-China, Geneva and Paris (which Dulles did not allude to). But SEATO was beset by a cloud of its own difficulties and handicaps...
...sundown, Sunday's quality shows disappear in a flood of guns, games and dramas like the Roy Rogers Show, Earn Your Vacation, the College of Musical Knowledge, the Loretta Young Show and What's My Line?

Mothers gathered their children, put the little ones into baby buggies and trundled them through traffic across the Chester River Bridge. There Chestertown's southbound refugees tangled with rescuers headed north-civil defense disaster units, firemen and police from neighboring towns...
