Starting last July, Boeing and General Dynamics each made ten test flights. Most were held over the bleak wastelands of the Utah Test and Training Range, near Dugway, Utah. The missiles were programmed to sprint at 500 m.p.h. round and round an aerial race course 100 miles long by 30 miles wide. In later tests some cruises were dropped from B-52s 60 miles out into the Pacific and programmed to fly back over California and Nevada to Utah. Air Force F-4 Phantom chase planes closely followed to observe and take over the missiles by radio control if anything...
...Washington Star relied on entirely different evidence. It produced aerial photos, dated May and November 1969, of the sandbar opening through which ocean tides swept northward into Katama Bay, through the channel between Edgartown and Chappaquiddick and out into the sound. According to the pictures, the opening into Katama Bay was still clear in May but had been blocked by sand by November. The Star indicated that the opening had gradually silted up during the intervening months. The newspaper concluded that by July 18 the gap would have been too narrow and shallow to let in a northward current...
Kennedy accused the Star of "irresponsible, shoddy and incomplete" reporting. His aides produced aerial photos showing the sand bar still open to the south on July 2-and indeed, on Oct. 24, 1969. The Star did not have the July 2 picture, which was obtained by the Kennedy staff two weeks ago from J. Gordon Ogden, a longtime summer resident of Martha's Vineyard who has compiled a book on the area's tides. But the Star did have the Oct. 24 photo. The newspaper's editors decided not to publish it because it was taken from...
...varietals to concentrate on Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Its 1976 Cabernets and Pinots Noirs will be released this month, but should be put down for at least two years before they are uncorked. Sterling is probably the only winery in the world where visitors board an aerial tramway en route to the sampling room; they get an intoxicating view of the vine-dappled valley below and Mount St. Helena beyond...
...recent "Thermoscan" show at Mamaroneck High School in New York, 2,300 house owners showed up over a two-day period to see aerial photographs of their neighborhoods taken by Con Ed with heat-sensitive cameras. A black roof indicated little heat loss; light gray showed that insulation was needed. Suppliers of thermal glass and insulation materials report strong sales across the country, although high interest rates have kept down new construction. Low-interest or no-interest loans for weatherizing are sometimes available through utilities. Along with how-to-do pamphlets like In the Bank ... or Up the Chimney...
