...sulfa powder to the barn's northeast stall and tenderly dusted the mangled ankle flesh of a calf. A few weeks before, the calf had been taken away from its mother, one of Joe's six milk cows. First night away, the weaning calf tried to climb the wall of a barn stall. Next morning Joe found the struggling animal hanging by its right forefoot, caught high in a crack and badly cut. Old Sam Carver, neighbors remember, had hands as gentle as Joe's-but Sam had never had any sulfa and, very probably, would have...
...rate of climb (2,500 ft. per minute) twice as fast as the average piston-engine airliners and a maximum altitude of 50,000 ft. It is so maneuverable in approaches that it can circle an airfield at 500 ft. in a radius of less than a mile; on one occasion a Boeing test pilot put it through a slow roll at 2,000 ft. The plane will be powered by Pratt & Whitney's J57 engine, the most powerful (well over 10,000 lbs. thrust) in production in the Western world. (The J57 drives such key military planes...
...their first year. In 1950 they moved into a former barracks at Stuttgart, developed a series of hand-tooled, air-cooled engines that range today from 44 to 115 h.p., and expanded to the present line of 16 models. The elder Porsche died in 1951, but sales continued to climb under the direction of son Ferry, a square-faced man of 46 who owned his first sports car at age 12. Last year he produced 1,908 cars - including some 1,000 exported to the U.S. - for a thumping gross...

"I didn't walk out of my throne to climb into a Premier's armchair," said he, insisting that the "congress" choose someone else...
...relaxed and relaxing Dave Garroway this week passed his 2,500th hour on the air, topping the endurance record of even durable Howdy Doody (2,080 hours). In the years of Garroway's climb, the medium which now carries his placating gestures into 1,800,000 homes each day, has grown from a timid experiment, originating largely in Chicago, to a giant phenomenon dominating U.S. living rooms from coast to coast. Last week, perhaps in deference to its veteran, the whole industry seemed as relaxed as Garroway...
