...nearly 3 p.m. when the hollow-eyed, unshaven missilemen finally had the Atlas, biggest bird in the U.S.'s missile aviary, ready for launching. Men inside the blockhouse listened in tight-lipped silence to the final countdown. At zero, a finger pressed a red button in a control panel, and the missile, rising slowly and majestically, started on history's second Atlas flight (see color pages opposite...
...shine to popular singers in jumbo productions. In fact, the TV season threatens to be, in the phrase of one critic, a case of "the bland leading the bland." TV's Pepsi-Cola girl, Polly Bergen, got mired down in embarrassingly labored exchanges with a shrill, scenery-chewing "panel" of other show folk, and only when she used her high but lilty voice did her seductive talents poke through. The Hit Parade was back (in stunning color for the 200,000 color-set owners), with a bevy of new performers led by young, moist-eyed Jill Corey, whose vocal...
...atoms-for-peace program that the President proposed in December 1953. Patronage problems aside, brainy Bob McKinney, 47, seemed a sound choice for the post.

Wearing the hard hat and leather belt of a lineman, Wyoming's Republican Senator Frank A. Barrett stepped up to a control panel in Casper, Wyo. last week. There he threw a switch inaugurating the biggest power transmission project in the history of his state, a 251-mile-long line linking Casper with Billings, Mont. At Billings the $7,200,000 line of the Pacific Power & Light Co. hooks into the big Pacific Northwest power pool. Next year the line will be extended from Casper to nearby Glenrock, Wyo., to link up a $23 million steam electric plant which...
