...produce enough prototypes of a new plane, thus face delays if a prototype is cracked up. Instead of trying to correct the deficiencies that show up in the prototypes, British aircraft "boffins," i.e., chairborne scientists, try to cover up to save costly redesigning. Despite the industry's often brilliant performance at Britain's annual Farnborough air show, Waterton points out that the show is "a lot of sham." The aircraft entered are often prototypes, years from the production line and often perilously undertested. Says he: "It is a miracle that there are not mass disasters at Farnborough every...
Lead by the brilliant play of ex-Harvard captain Brooks Harris who won two singles and two doubles matches, the Americans took a 3-1 lead the opening day and were never headed. Harris downed Graham Daniels of Oxford, 6-3, 7-5, and Dale Junta of Harvard swept past Tony Clayton of Cambridge...
...desk all day stitching together fragments from Times reporters, wire copy and the ship lines. His story spread across four columns, and in his clear, quiet prose, Berger wrote the most moving account of all.

What is pain? Everybody knows because everybody has suffered it, but nobody can tell anybody else. Dictionaries are hopeless.* The late Sir Charles Sherrington, who collected no fewer than 22 honorary doctorates for his brilliant researches in physiology, called pain "the psychical adjunct of an imperative protective reflex." That may be fine for another physiologist, but it is no help to a man with a nail through his foot. Although pain is what drives most patients to a doctor, it is the symptom to which, all too often, doctors pay least attention. One good reason: it is the subject about...
