An editorial notes the need for moral responsibility as Francis G Powers, pilot of the U-2 shot down over Russia, faces capture by the Soviets after a May 1 flight. It mentions suggestions he should have committed suicide and reports the Russians claim he carried a poison pin for self-inflicted death.
The American Jesuit weekly America argues suicide is intrinsically evil and cannot be justified by state or national interests. It condemns coercive orders to self harm, contrasts Eastern "saving face" death with purposeful self destruction, and warns that national policy cannot hinge on death by own action without moral decay.
The piece argues that punishing youths as adults after aging into adulthood violates justice. It cites Cuba’s reform-school approach for underage rebels, contrasts with U.S. safeguards, and criticizes retroactive liability. Louisiana is singled out as not practicing retroactive punishment.
A May 25 blizzard undermines Chinese claims of reaching the Everest summit via the hard side. Darjeeling’s Himalayan Mountaineering Institute crew prepared for the attempt but could not go forward, while experts say climbing the difficult side without oxygen was impossible that day. Tenzing Morgay weighs conditions and supports skepticism.
The essay argues that political candidates design their own campaigns and that true drafts are rare. It critiques Nelson Rockefeller for not openly seeking nomination, notes two years of behind the scenes effort, and links Rockefeller’s rise to timing amid global events and domestic dissent.
Charles O. Gridley analyzes how the term egghead, once pejorative, now backs Senator John F. Kennedy for the Democratic presidential nomination. He notes Kennedy’s Harvard ties, the influence of scholars like Schlesinger and Commager, and the possible shift of support if Kennedy falters on the third ballot, with Stevenson looming as a fallback. He contrasts Kennedy with Nixon and Rockefeller, forecasting a tight race amid external pressures from Russia, European competition, and a coming gold standard move by the Soviets.
Holmes Alexander praises select Senate and House committees for standout work in 1960. He highlights Interior and Insular Affairs for a bold water program, and lauds Atomic Energy and Foreign Relations as stellar, with the National Policy Machinery subcommittee led by Henry M. Jackson delivering the top performance aided by notable guest senators.
Dr Peter J Steincrohn explains psychsomatics linking emotion to physical ailments. Many patients suffer emotional problems underlying dizziness fatigue or stress. Doctors increasingly treat emotional illness with collaboration between psychiatrists and general practitioners while encouraging openness with clinicians to improve outcomes. A reader note adds emphasis on honesty with doctors and seeking help, not hiding issues.
