...engine is a gas turbine affair-adapted in principle from the turbojet airplane engine-which Chrysler has been working on for years (TIME, March 29, 1954). A compressor forces air into a chamber where it is heated and then mixed with fuel (see diagram). A single spark plug ignites the mixture, and the expanding hot gases drive two turbines. The first turbine turns the original air compressor, and the second turns the power shaft that connects to the rear wheels. The exhaust gases are recycled into a regenerator to heat the incoming...
...Joke. The $80-million fair is the result of luck, audacity-and hard work. The notion for a world's fair was born seven years ago when three leading citizens met for drinks at the Washington Athletic Club.

In the inner circle that rules the Senate, Styles Bridges was the innermost man, the dean of Senate Republicans, and one of the savviest politicians in the upper chamber. He was a poor speaker, and his name was never attached to any historic item of legislation. Yet last week, when Bridges died of complications following a heart attack, the Senate lost one of its most influential members...
