ELMER G. STILL Livermore, Calif. ¶Although penguins remain unreconstructed Southerners, there is no reason why they should not be happy in the Arctic; gourmets have not commented on the cooked product, but explorers, suffering strictly from hunger, report that it tastes like something between beef and wild duck cooked with stale fish and served with cod-liver...
...weeks before the elections TIME correspondents talked to dozens of Republican leaders in states where Nixon had campaigned. Almost to a man they were grateful for his efforts, well aware that Nixon need not have lifted a finger in the 1958 campaign had he wanted to duck a part in almost certain defeat.

In every minute, the earth rotates enough to make a 1,000-mile difference in the rocket's position when and if it reaches the moon's orbit...
DULLES SCENTS BRINK VICTORY, proclaimed the Christian Science Monitor last week as the Secretary of State flew'back from a few days at his Duck Island retreat to a capital hoping against hope that Red China would make its seven-day ceasefire on Quemoy permanent. Dulles conferred with Under Secretary of State Christian Herter and Assistant Secretary for Far Eastern Affairs Walter Robertson, hit a quick consensus that the Communists had stopped shooting because their artillery blockade of Quemoy had failed, and they were unwilling or unable to step up the pressures in the teeth of U.S. and Chinese...
