...economy's increased strain stems from the confusion caused by Nikita Khrushchev's decision to decentralize the management of Soviet industry (TIME, April 15). In addition, the troubles in Poland and Hungary not only deprived Russia of valuable imports, e.g., Polish coal, but also obliged Russia to pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the satellites to quiet their unrest...
...Shot of Pizazz. Sinatra's telegram was transparently timed to pump a little publicity pizazz into the weary, long-running argument between 33 members of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) and the organization known as Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI). For a generation, ASCAP has been collecting flat, annual fees from broadcasting stations for broadcast performances of its members' works. In 1939, some 250 pinched broadcasters, including all the major networks, formed a rival organization, BMI, and the two have been skirmishing ever since.

"If I did this or that, would they like...

After elaborate tests with models in wind tunnels, Northrop engineers fitted the wing "of an F94 jet fighter with a "glove" containing twelve slots running lengthwise along the wing. A suction pump driven from the main engine pulled air into the slots and pushed it out astern with the rest of the jet's gases, adding a little to the thrust. The reduction of drag was extraordinary, even when the power consumed by the pump was added as drag. A more...
