...Chute de la Malson d'Usher (1927) and The Golem (1924). Kirkland House Dining Hall, 8 and 10 April...
...technical details, the pictures of what looked like a flying samovar gave some clues to its operation: after its conical heat shield (not shown) was jettisoned, a small parachute was released, retarding the capsule's descent slightly in the thin Martian atmosphere. Then the larger main chute was unfurled from a ring-shaped container under the lander's spherical body. Finally, a burst from the ship's retrorocket provided additional crucial braking for the landing. After only 20 seconds on the surface, however, the lander's TV camera stopped sending signals. Soviet scientists speculated that either...

Pilots have had to cope with sticky controls, inadequately lubricated engine instruments and an anti-icing valve that stuck. A forced evacuation of one plane, because of an engine fire, turned up a flaw in the emergency chute: it peels the panty hose right off women in miniskirts. In addition, the giant Pratt & Whitney engines have been particularly troublesome. The latest difficulty involves bolts that occasionally loosen in flight and permit a small metal plate to fly through the engine, forcing a shutdown. Now when a 747 touches...
