...Midas II is the forerunner of a system whose functional value as a deterrent against war is obvious. The Navy's Transit I-B is the exciting prototype for a system that will give the U.S. an all-weather navigational accuracy unmatched in human history. Developed by a pair of young Johns Hopkins scientists who studied the radio Doppler effects of Russia's Sputnik I and applied them to practical purposes, the Transit system is scheduled to have four satellites in orbit by 1962. They should be able to give every spot on earth a navigational fix, accurate...
Citizens of all political complexions turned out for a down-with-H-bombs rally in Manhattan's Madison Square Garden, but the oddest pair seemed to be Topeka's Old Republican Alfred Mossman London and the widow of the man who overwhelmed him in the 1936 presidential election, Old Democrat Eleanor Roosevelt.

With quiet humor and calculated eccentricity, President Ydigoras. 64, has made himself a popular figure. Refusing to live in the presidential palace, he has installed himself-along with a twittering aviary, a pet deer and a dwarf footman-in a remodeled museum...
