...tough little 150-pounder who gives the transplaned Twins somebody on which they can at last found an infield. Harmon Killebrow is for real; he proved it last year with 31 homers after a late year start. Jim Lemon can hit for distance, Lennie Green for average, and Bob Allison, who should recover from sophomore slump, for both. Earl Battey is the best catcher in the A.L., and Camilio Pascual and Pedro Ramos are two of the top huriers...
...been my privilege to fly." His testimony seemed in direct conflict with the views of his own airline, which only the day before in Dallas had filed a $2,400,000 suit against Lockheed Aircraft, the Electra's maker, and General Motors, which supplied the plane's Allison turboprop engines, charging that the Electra was "negligently and carelessly planned, designed, manufactured and inspected." The suit was based on the 1959 crash of one of Braniff's Electras near Buffalo, Texas, which was blamed on a structural failure of the wing root-the same failure that knocked another...
...plane's four Allison turboprop engines were recovered from the water, shipped to General Motors' Allison division in Indianapolis. There, Civil Aeronautics Board crash detectives began taking them apart piece by piece. They found evidence that the No. 1 or outboard engine on the left wing had been shut down and feathered by the pilot, indicating that he was coping with an emergency. CAB believes that the three other engines were delivering power, or at least some measure of power, when the plane crashed...
Tests in the past have shown that birds drawn into Allison engines through the 2-ft.-wide air scoops cause flameouts about 50% of the time-a danger that experts believe is also shared by the pure jets. Said Quesada: "There is absolutely no evidence that the Boston accident was in any way whatsoever associated with the type of structural failure that caused two previous Electra crashes. Any airplane encountering a massive flock of birds at low altitude, when its air speed is critical, is going to have trouble...
...lies in the two-year mix of the program. In his first year, the student will spend a full year of graduate work in his subject under supervision of top scholars from various divisions of the university proper. Among the teachers: Historians Daniel Boorstin and Louis Gottschalk, Physicist Samuel Allison, Mathematician Marshall Stone. In addition, students will observe high school teaching, take a wide-ranging weekly seminar in the psychology of learning and the philosophy of education. In the student's second year, the emphasis shifts to a "teaching residency in a selected high school." Unlike unpaid practice teachers...
