...pilot program last year seven and Radcliffe students spent summer in the highland areas of Central and South America. The success project led the Foundation to expand the program this year, and perhaps include other colleges in the future...
...Caroline had just landed on the rain-soaked runway at Palm Beach airport and was taxiing up to the apron when the message came in over the pilot's radio that an emergency telephone call was waiting. Hostess Janet Desrosiers rushed back with the message to Jack Kennedy's rear compartment. As he emerged from the plane, Kennedy was told that his wife was in the hospital. He paused only long enough to shout back at the plane, "We'll be going right back," then hurried grimly to the phone behind a flying wedge of Secret Service...
...only an echo of the past. The telephone of the future will emit four staccato baritone beeps-and this week, in the homes of 300 residents of Morris, Ill., a farming center 75 miles southwest of Chicago, the beep of tomorrow could already be heard. Using Morris as a pilot project, Bell Telephone Laboratories have installed telephones that...
...California, Test Pilot Scott Crossfield slipped into the cockpit of the experimental space plane X-15, dropped free from the wing of a high-flying B-52, gunned to 80,000 ft. at speeds nearing 2,000 m.p.h. It was the first test of the X-15's new 57,000-lb.-thrust engine, the most powerful airplane rocket engine that the U.S. has built to date (earlier X-15 engines developed 16,000 Ibs. thrust).

Whatever contact they may have with the undergraduates--and it is to be hoped that Radcliffe will encourage frequent formal and informal communication between scholars and students--their ideas and projects should stimulate intellectual curiosity and lead career-minded 'Cliffies to make long-range plans for the future. And if the Fellows...
