Simple Ingenuity. Necessarily, the Islander is ingeniously simple in design. To save the cost and weight of a retraction system, the landing gear is fixed. To save cabin space, there is no aisle; passengers must climb into their seats through three fuselage doors. To offer performance comparable to STOL (short takeoff and landing) planes such as the $85,000 U.S.-made Helio Twin Courier, the Islander has outsized wings that permit takeoffs in a bare 520 ft., landings at 65 m.p.h. All in all, the Islander offers only one frill; though one big engine would theoretically offer reliability enough...
After shellacking the Baltimore Orioles 6-3 on the road last week, the Twins flew home to Minnesota, serenaded by the strains of Goin' Out of My Head coming from the cabin P A system. And that is how it's going. Leftfielder Bob Allison, a lifetime 257 hitter is leading the league in batting with a .533 average and a slugging percentage of .933-28 total bases in 30 times at bat.

As urine is collected, it is pumped over an array of felt wicks. Air is drawn into the system from the cabin, heated to more than 110° F. and blown across the soggy wicks. The heated air, containing cabin moisture, picks up additional moisture from the wicks-leaving the solids behind. It is next passed through...
...long space missions. Each man is assigned daily make-work chores, such as reading instruments, following instructions radioed in from outside and manipulating controls. At regular intervals, they take one another's pulse, respiration and blood pressure or enter a medical instrument unit that enables physicians outside the cabin to perform a remote-controlled medical checkup...
Ardent supporters of the Report hail it as a crucial landmark. "In a way it's like Uncle Tom's Cabin," said Abram J. Chayes '43, professor of Law, who is largely responsible for the Report's chapter on the mass media. "It poses the issue in a way which can never be ignored again. The importance of this report is that it is directed not toward the President but to the public conscience," Chayes added...
