...Tacan ground beacon. The ground beacon, identifying itself in International code (which the pilot can hear), sends out signals in "reply" to the aircraft. To determine distance, the plane's Tacan continuously measures the time interval between its own "interrogation" signal and the reply, computes the time delay into miles, and indicates the figure on a dial on the instrument board. The same radio pulses are simultaneously performing a more complicated process. To determine direction, the ground beacon's pulses pass through a revolving (15 revolutions per second) antenna system that relies on two concentric cylindrical rings...
...Time to Delay. Last week "the Keef's" California supporters decided that they would enter his name in their state preferential primary next year. Harriman, busily politicking about Chicago (although his awkward eagerness among the easygoing pols reminded one observer of a man trying to enjoy himself at a party after he had lost one shoe), was taken seriously, if not affectionately...
...Individual errors in judgment, lack of proper coordination, ineffective administrative procedures, inconsistent application of investigating regulations, and excessive delays," were the subcommittee's words for it.

...First Boston Corp., which emerged as a Dixon-Yates financing agent. But First Boston had acted without fee, and there was no showing that Wenzell profited by his activities.

The Administration explanation was that Adams, no lawyer, had wanted advice from Attorney General Brownell and White House Special Counsel Gerald Morgan about legal problems relating...
Doing Something. Only a threat to the existence and prerogatives of the House disturbs its somnolent air. Reform of the Lords, warned Prime Minister Herbert Asquith more than 40 years ago, "brooks no delay"; only last month Queen Elizabeth herself was again promising "further consideration of the composition of the House of Lords," and as usual Everyone admitted that "something" ought to be done. Last week, the government-in the person of the Lords' Tory leader, the Marquis of Salisbury-moved that a committee be appointed to study what powers, if any, the Lords had to compel their members...
