...refresher course on Communism for old as well as young, the editors undertook to determine the present state of the movement, its strengths and weaknesses, its fractured divisions and mischievous diversions, in every area of the world. Searching queries went out to 21 key points on the Communist compass. The question we wanted to answer was: Do Communist subversion, infiltration, and desire for control of legitimate nationalist movements remain realities? The essentially affirmative answer is set forth in detail in the ESSAY...
...Sticky" Altimeter. During the eight months before the crash, the Constellation's compass system had been reported malfunctioning no fewer than eleven times. The CAB found that at the time the plane hit the mountainside, the compass may have been as much as 15° off. Only the day before, a Paradise pilot who was flying the plane had complained that his altimeter had been "sticky" during descents, remaining stationary for a while, then suddenly registering a 150-ft. to 200-ft. drop. As for the copilot's altimeter, it registered 100 ft. below sea level when...
...aircraft and its instruments were serviced-after a fashion. Paradise had no maintenance crews or facilities of its own, farmed out all such work to an FAA-approved Oakland maintenance station with licensed mechanics.

The altimeters were adjusted by another mechanic, who later told CAB investigators that he could not quite recall whether he had tightened a vital screw...
...employers for whom I retain a deep and grateful affection, correct his story that I started my own news-letter because I was "tired of researching news that city editors wouldn't print."

David Stern and Harry T. Saylor I enjoyed a quarter century of such freedom and old-fashioned crusading journalism that I was spoiled for anything else. Brackman's account may be excused...
Just what wonders Du Pont will uncork next is hard to forecast, if only because the company's compass is so wide. Du Pont's chemists-like their colleagues throughout the chemical industry-never stop asking questions: How can electricity be transmitted without causing heat, what makes plants flower when and how they do, what are some new commercial possibilities of magnetism? Along the way, the perpetual search produces so many new products and processes that Du Pont is hard-pressed to find names for all of them, has called upon a computer to assemble 153,000 possible...
