...plan would replace the internationally staffed listening posts with control stations operated by each country's own technicians (as the Russians demand). But the local posts would be subject to inspection by an international commission to keep them honest. Another plan would do away with posts on Russian soil entirely, using only long-range detection instruments and on-site international inspections of suspicious blasts. This modification of the previous U.S. stand is reportedly favored by Presidential Scientific Adviser Jerome Wiesner, who found some support for his position in the disclosure last week that the U.S. had clearly detected...
...though corn crops covered Yuque and Yunque for years, it was the patches of wild morning-glories growing there that piqued Professor Ellis.

Perhaps the restraining influence of the legitimate, conventional theatre is necessary to the health of a reasonable experimental theatre. In any case, "The Two-Headed Baby" - an "off-Broadway" experiment by Ellis Andrews - does nothing more than take a broad jump over...
