Although no definite outline as yet exists for this kind of parliamentary discussion, there are a few principles which should guide a successful forum at Harvard. First, there is no need for a new, chartered organization. The Athenaeum of several years ago disappeared largely because it attempted to bypass the existing political groups. These groups should form the basis for any larger political forum, because they already encompass most people interested in this kind of debate. In addition, topics for such a meeting should cut across party lines, so that the Young Republicans and Young Democrats are not always...
Stars of the show were Britain's newest jet engines. De Havilland's Gyron has 15,000 Ibs. of static thrust, is claimed to be the most powerful in the world. The Rolls-Royce Conway, a "bypass jet" with 13.000 Ibs. of thrust (TIME, July 4), was shown at Farnborough for the first time...

No country knows this better than landlocked, mineral-rich, dollar-starved Bolivia. Last spring, Peru and Bolivia started planning a new railroad to bypass Lake Titicaca, where everything traveling between Peru's Pacific ports and La Paz must now be transshipped to and from a lake steamer.

In the mind of Memphis, the Dixon-Yates deal became a thing to be avoided at all cost...
Another advantage may prove more important than efficiency. The bypass engine is comparatively quiet, and this is a vital virtue for airlines that fear to fly screaming jets from airports besieged by embattled neighbors. The bypass principle can even silence the afterburner, whose bone-shaking thunder would otherwise keep it from being used to get heavy transports off the ground...
