...government thereupon set off in confused pursuit of a program. The only clear lines were do-good fervor at home and opposition to dictators abroad. The Communists were freed to operate openly for the first time since 1953; the Communist paper Hoy appeared immediately. Though only 12,000 strong in a population of 6,500,000, the Communists infiltrated some rebel columns during the fighting, rushed into the convenient vacuum in organized labor and grabbed five out of 18 seats on the executive board of the hastily formed rebel labor federation...

In six months, Frondizi has sharply lifted Argentina's prestige and credit by a stern, undemagogic economic program that embodies the same patriotic austerity De Gaulle proposes for France.

...program is roughly similar. A "soft" instrument landing on the moon may be accomplished in 1960. Putting a man in space will take longer. A protected capsule to bring him back alive is already under development. One of the preliminary research tools toward this project is the X-15 rocket-plane, which will meet its first tests in a month or so. It is designed to start its flights in the atmosphere, then shoot out of it to a probable height of 150 miles. Its descent on stubby wings will build experience for controlled returns from deeper space...
