Turboprop Transports. Whether or not De Havilland could fill the order, the Britons were already making new claims to commercial jet supremacy. This week, at the annual Farnborough show, they will fly the world's first turboprop transports,† Bristol's 104-passenger Britannia, Vickers' 40-to-53-passenger Viscount. These turboprops are designed for nonstop runs too long (e.g., the North Atlantic) for the Comet to fly, or too sparsely traveled (e.g., to Sweden) to justify Comets...
...boasted of his accomplishments at the pork barrel, dwelling on the federal money and projects he has obtained for Tennessee (e.g., TVA, Oak Ridge, Great Smoky Mountains Park). He promised more: "I would like to stay in the Senate long enough to have a four-lane highway from Bristol to Memphis and three four-lane highways across the middle of the state...
Enter the P.M.A. Pinchot was a "liberal" and a "reformer," but the words in his day did not carry quite the same meaning as they do today.

They can't seem to keep their eyes on the ball. In his first pitching start for the Bristol (Tenn.) Twins this year, Necciai struck out 20 men. He struck out 19 in his second game. In a relief role, he struck out 11 men in four innings. Last week, mixing a crackling fast ball with a dazzling curve, Pitcher Necciai (pronounced Netch-Eye) made a new mark...
...without a Rystan license. Lever Brothers has already signed a licensing arrangement for Chlorodent which will bring Rystan nearly $1,000,000 by the time it expires this summer. Rystan's President Ryan has been trying to line up other licensees, but hasn't had much success. Bristol-Myers and Whitehall, already market-testing chlorophyll variations of Ipana and Kolynos, are not rushing to sign up with Rystan; Kolynos, for one, thinks that the patent may not cover its product. Last week the Block Drug Co., which cleaned up by putting the first widely distributed ammoniated tooth powder...
