...Discontents. The plot had been brewing for a year or more, and the plotters cut across Ethiopia's educated elite. In on the game, tacitly or actively, were Cabinet ministers, top bureaucrats, army colonels, students returning from studies abroad. They came from the class that Haile Selassie must count on to help bring Ethiopia into the modern world-but it is just this group that is most repelled by the trappings of a feudal monarchy. The plotters had no clear political coloration, though one of the ringleaders, former Ambassador to Washington Ras Imru, returned from...
...General Adolf Heusinger, 63, top officer in the German armed forces, was named chairman of the NATO permanent Military Committee in Washington. The Germans also agreed last week to boost their contribution to the cost of NATO facilities (pipelines, depots, etc.) from 13% to 19%, enabling the U.S. to cut its share from 37% to 31%-an estimated annual saving to the U.S. of $15 million...

Appearing before Senator Estes Kefauver's hearings on the ills of boxing, Williams complained that he, too, had been underpaid throughout his career (during which he grossed $1,000,000), never had got his cut of $40,000 for two big fights from Manager Frank ("Blinky") Palermo.

Then, suddenly, the rocket's nose lurched, and an instant later a red-orange mushroom blast shattered the sixth U.S. attempt to put a paddle-wheel satellite in orbit around the moon. If the feat had succeeded, it would have rivaled even the Russian successes of hitting the moon and photographing its backside...
...biggest such manufacturer on the West Coast. Young Lawrence had learned metalworking on vacations in his father's shop, had rushed through the University of Southern California, the California bar exams and Harvard Business School by the time he was 22. In 1946 he cut loose from the family circle to buy a war-surplus aluminum-extrusion plant in Torrance, Calif. He soon persuaded the rest of the family to go along, and the Harvey Machine Co.'s equipment was sold at public auction to finance refurbishing of the Torrance plant...
