Lindbergh Flight Echoed by Cooper Space Mission
An editorial contrasts Charles Lindberghs 1927 New York to Paris flight with Leroy Gordon Cooper en route to orbit Earth. Lindberghs 33 hour 29 minute crossing is set against Cooper performing 22 orbits in 34 hours. The piece notes public awe, then routine, and questions the lasting propaganda value of lunar milestones.

Stassen weighs presidential bid in New Hampshire
The former Minnesota governor Harold Stassen hints at entering presidential primaries next year in New Hampshire and other states. Once a rising GOP prospect, his campaigns faltered after 1948 and 1952. Since then he failed in Pennsylvania governor and Philadelphia mayor races, placing him in political oblivion. His 15-year-old hopes are not revived by this effort.
