During its whole visit, the comet acted as if it wanted to dodge human observation. Astronomer Leland E. Cunningham of the University of California, who worked out its orbit from data collected in Australia, reported that it slipped out of space on the far side of the sun. Sweeping around the sun within a whisker (9,000,000 miles), it stayed for the most part near the line between the sun and earth. It was therefore hard to see, like a fighter plane diving on its enemy "out of the sun." In the southern hemisphere it was visible...

Its economic orbit includes six chief islands, of which Kauai is furthest west. The archipelago's commercial heart is the city of Honolulu (pop. 267,000), on Oahu, which is Eden-with a touch of Indianapolis...
...alternative. Bevin and Bidault are strong enough to keep the requests within reason. If we get into this thing we will have to let the Eastern European countries in; that means they will be trading freely with Western Europe, and will be drawn out of our orbit. We must back away and try to save what we can-Eastern Europe...

When Harold Stassen popped the censorship question to Joseph Stalin (see INTERNATIONAL), he was just trying to be helpful. But last week it appeared that Stassen had unintentionally struck a blow at freedom, not for it. As they passed out of the Russian orbit, U.S. and British newsmen returning from the Moscow Conference began cabling "now it can be told" dispatches. One thing several wanted to tell about was what happened after the Stalin-Stassen chat...
