Space Toboggan. Professor of Aerodynamics Antonio Ferri of the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn is a skip man. He believes that a hypervelocity missile should spend only a short time in the heat-generating atmosphere, then soar up to peaceful space to cool off. Ferri's missile designed to follow this skip course (a "damped phugoid" in aerodynamic fancy-talk) is something like a V-nosed toboggan with curled up edges. The bottom and the outer sides of the curls are covered with heat-resisting ceramic, and the "controlled environment space" for a bomb or a crew to ride...

The Dallas Symphony will open the season with selections it is dedicating to veterans, with a Congressional Medal of Honor winner present as a guest.
