There is no doubt that radio messages can span interstellar distances. Dr. Purcell estimates that the total power of all the 21-cm. waves that bathe the earth's surface is equal to the power of only one watt, but modern antennas can pick them up easily. And this week's Project Ozma is a first small step in an effort that might take one year or 10,000 to turn a dream into reality...
Bartok: Music for String Instruments, Percussions and Celesta, and Frank Martin: Petite Symphonie Concertante (Albert Fuller, harpsichord; Gloria Agostini. harp; Mitchell Andrews, piano; Leopold Stokowski conducting; Capitol, mono and stereo).

When he found he could not blast away without granting equal time to the union, he bought the money-losing station anyway and turned it over to his eldest son, William Michael. In a year's time, Bill turned WJW's red ink into black, sold the station for a fat profit. Eventually Bill, now 46, left his father...
...association: with taxes and duties, a U.S. compact such as the Ford Falcon (New York list price: $2,040) costs an English buyer $5,238, an Italian $4,368 and a Frenchman $4,184. Many a businessman feels that unless foreign nations allow U.S. products to compete on equal terms in foreign markets, there will be a rise in protectionist sentiment...
