...days of ceremonial dancing and feasting in Abidjan, where a brand-new presidential palace gleamed in marble glory above cool fountains and wide terraces. There, G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, made some sort of diplomatic fashion history by appearing in cutaway coat and green polka-dot bow tie. There, too, Bobby announced the U.S. gift to Houphouet-Boigny of a beige, two-engined Aero Commander plane. (The Ivory Coast's President is scared of flying, but he appreciated the sentiment.) Bobby, Ethel and their entourage watched bare-breasted girls performing a "Dance...
...American Machine & Foundry annual meeting in Manhattan last week, stockholders strolling by a color cutaway diagram of the company's complex new automatic bread-baking machine were startled to see parts of the still picture seem to move. Before their surprised eyes the machine showed how it mixes bread dough, pops it into an oven, and shoots out golden-brown loaves. Shareholders at the giant American Telephone & Telegraph annual meeting in Chicago (see State of Business) were treated to another picture in which Echo satellites seemed to move across the sky bouncing radio waves back to earth...

Bulldozers & Buses. Making liberal use of the big workshops at his disposal, Polich invented dozens of classroom de vices to illustrate the latest engineering and electrical developments for 32 courses. Instead of the standard black board sketches and one-dimensional charts, he mounted cutaway engines on huge boards, indicated power flow by beads, lights and liquids. A model of the fuel-injection system for diesel engines spouts real flames; the school also has a huge cutaway bulldozer that actually works with most of the moving parts exposed to view. "A chart of a missile system in static form would send...
