...they inhabit is a bulging bundle of nerves, a webwork of highways that crisscross for 220,000 miles in all directions, including ever-higher altitudes. Moreover, the dawn of the commercial jet age - with 94 jet transports already in U.S. airline service, and about 150 more due by year's end - with its near sonic speeds and bigger loads, has compounded all of the vast problems of the Air Age with unparalleled force...
Confused critics confessed that they found Gallizio's drippings and crisscross calligraphy as good as or better than most abstractions. Said the art critic of Munich's Süddeutsche Zeitung: "After all, in the circus we have learned to discern fine artistry and great human values beneath a clown."

But the great new jetliners cruise most efficiently in the high, thin air above. Their crews and dispatchers need detailed, fresh information about the tremendous high-altitude winds that crisscross the middle latitudes. To meet their need, the Weather Bureau has announced plans for a new high-altitude forecasting service, hoped to have it in full operation in time for next month's start of jetliner service across...
