...White Sands, N. Mex. last month. In the first known kill of a ballistic missile, the two birds collided 1½ miles up at a combined speed of 2,000 m.p.h. Though a far cry from the Army's goal of perfecting a nuclear-tipped Nike-Zeus missile system capable of intercepting 16,000 m.p.h. ICBMs at 100-mile altitudes, the Hawk tests dispelled doubt that "a bullet could hit a bullet," gave new ammunition to the Army in its campaign to pry loose $137 million in Nike-Zeus funding now being withheld by the Budget Bureau...

Now he complains that the critics dragged out against him are "new names" unworthy of his stature, and adds defiantly: "I will never...
...Dixie-oriented Washington, D.C., where "massive" integration of the public school system began in 1954, Negroes now make up this percentage of the student body: a) 50%. b) 26%. c) 76%. d) 10%. 59. In the Soviet Union, the educational system is pushing toward-but is far from-a goal set by Khrushchev to have all children...
