...Long concerned with the U.S. kitchen, engineers of Whirlpool Corp. (dishwashers, freezers) escaped into deepest space. Worried that dull food during long journeys may drive astronauts dotty, Whirlpool last week was busy testing a space kitchen designed to serve Swiss steak, baked ham, filet of sole, cakes, cookies and other goodies out of gleaming bins and refrigerators. There will be three electric ovens; from nozzles hot and cold water will spurt into collapsible tubes containing dehydrated coffee or fruit juice, so that the weightless spacemen can drink by squeezing the liquids into their mouths. Built under Air Force contract...
...What will be done," asked scientists of Aerojet-General Corp., "with the body of a man who dies on a space voyage?" Answering their own question, they pointed out that "there will be no 'ground' in which to bury the man. The coldest scientific efficiency would be to place the corpse in the spaceship's 'digester' system.

After his business breakfast, Clint Jr., too, showed up at Alleghany to listen in on the intricate briefings on company affairs. Then the brothers headed off for separate tables at "21"-Clint to explore another land deal...
...come to it for financing. Dallas builders, claim the wide-ranging Texans, did more to develop Atlanta than did Georgians. In Texas itself, the deals flew hard and fast under the hands of second or third-generation millionaires such as Angus Wynne Jr., who sparked the Great Southwest Corp., a development company now constructing a huge industrial park between Dallas and Forth Worth...
