...Philadelphia, newsmen and Pentagon brass watched the YC-123E "Panto-base" plane, a new amphibious version of the Air Force's land-based Chase C-123 transport, go through its paces on the Delaware River. Pilot Bernie Hughes made a normal take-off from nearby Mustin Naval Air Station, then pulled up the wheels, lowered a pair of 13-ft. skis from the plane's belly and made several demonstration landings and take-offs on the water. Unlike regular amphibians, the two-engined YC-123E loses a minimum of speed and range with its new landing gear...
Surprisingly, some of the "normal" men in Group C behaved much the same way: several got morning sickness (though fewer headaches and less dizziness), and two became accident prone and three took to drink. What bothered Psychiatrist Curtis as much as anything was that physicians who referred airmen to him from sick call seemed to have no idea that expectant fatherhood could be disturbing. The military, he concludes, might well find out how many accidents or self-inflicted injuries it causes...
...have just read with some amusement the July 4 letter of that blithe spirit, Virgil C. Krebs, of Cicero, Ill. Mr. Krebs sought not only to castigate the Richmond News Leader but the South in general (a popular sport in some parts of this fair land).

...three scientists - R. L. W. Averill, C. E. Adams and L. E. A. Rowson -flushed out newly fertilized ova from the Fallopian tubes of freshly killed pregnant ewes. Then they transplanted the tiny ova to the reproductive tracts of seven female rabbits which had been mated previously with sterilized males to activate their hormone systems. Five days later, the rabbits were killed and the sheep eggs taken out in surgery. The ova had grown as in any pregnancy. Two of the best-developed eggs were replanted in a nonpregnant ewe; 16 days later, the scientists found that the twice-switched...
...minutes, Meeting at the Summit tried to cover so much ground (including a snappy history of the last ten years) that it never pricked the surface. The Christian Science Monitor's Correspondent Joseph C. Harsch was flown in from Geneva, and breathlessly announced: "The biggest fact I came back with is this: people there are calm and confident." Others made it clear that the East was lined up against the West. To the unabashed clichés on audio were wedded equally tired clichés on video. The challenge of such a TV show is at once...
