Passing up the opportunity to set an example for the legal settlement of international disputes, the U.S. last week refused to argue the case at The Hague-and thus all but ended Interhandel's long struggle to regain the company. As a founder of the World Court, though never a defendant there, the U.S. exercised its treaty right to refuse trial in "matters essentially within domestic jurisdiction." Unless the U.S. Supreme Court (which has already turned down one appeal by Interhandel and now has another to consider on a technical point) reverses its position, the sale of rich...
...only seconds after take-off lost one engine and stuttered with its other. No. 13 on the plane's passenger manifest: well-Oriented Author James A. (Tales of the South Pacific) Michener, immersed in some island-hopping research for a book on the Strategic Air Command. Unable to regain the strip, the pilot chose to go by the book, ditched the aircraft and immersed Michener in Michener's favorite ocean. Rescued after 90 minutes on a life raft, uninjured Passenger Michener mourned the loss of 1½ year's worth of notes and manuscripts. Half an hour...
...that U.S. paratroopers landed, ex-Infantry Officer (Lieut.

...these. He had drawn the battle lines. President Eisenhower had patiently tried to avoid direct conflict, but when forced to the issue, he had acted quickly and decisively (see below). Now, at week's end Faubus -like Joe McCarthy before him-was trying to regain the initiative by even more drastic talk, slandering his political opponents, and musing about the possibility of calling a special session of the Arkansas legislature to abolish the public school system. And the President of the U.S. would return to Washington this week to confer with a delegation of five Southern governors...
...German claim to its former territories east of the Oder and Neisse Rivers, a territory about the size of Virginia. It was handed to Poland by the victorious Allies as compensation for the Polish territory seized by Russians. Adenauer has often promised that Germany would never use force to regain these lost territories; last week he went further. In a CBS interview he said that he could foresee the day when, in a United Europe, boundaries would be of less importance than they are today. In effect, Germany was not pressing for its old lands...
