...perhaps years of work; to assemble the statistics on the latest results of the explosion would by itself cost him weeks of research in half-a-dozen libraries and Government bureaus. But at a signal from the editors, TIME correspondents in 48 countries began gathering the most up-to-date figures for their areas. And along with the figures came the distilled thinking of some of the world's most eminent students of the problem. From England, Correspondent Herman Nickel reported the opposing views of Sir Charles Darwin and London University's Professor J. D. Bernal, Britain...
Getting nervous because no date had been set, a Capitol Hill Republican last week telephoned a White House aide to find out when the President was planning to hold his meeting with G.O.P. congressional leaders to discuss the Administration's legislative program for the new ses sion of Congress. The answer: "We don't plan to have a meeting, and we don't want one." Dwight Eisenhower saw no need to talk over his program for the congressional session that convenes this week.

After comparing everyone's social calendars, the second week in May looked like the best date. Nobody apparently had anything more pressing to do that week...
...Bunker's action came none too soon. The Titan, on which the U.S. has spent some $1.2 billion to date, is in trouble. After four preliminary successful shoots (none beyond the first stage), the missile designed to be more sophisticated than Convair's Atlas has not been able to get off the pad for seven months...
