...years; fats account for as much as 40% of its calories. In Sweden the proportion is 38%. But in Sardinia it is only 22%. The clincher, for Dr. Keys, is to be found among Yemenite Jews who had no coronary disease in their native habitat but have begun to develop it since they migrated to Israel and adopted its high-fat diet. Yet the amiable, blubber-eating Eskimos throw a monkey-wrench into the dietary-fat theory. In Alaska, they live for months at a time on the fat of island seal and whale, but even among their oldsters fatal...

Emerging from the Egyptian foreign office, where he is a frequent and welcome visitor these days, Soviet Ambassador Daniel Solod urbanely told newsmen that the Communists now hope to extend their new relationship into all phases of Middle Eastern life.

Solod confirmed reports that Russia had offered to build Egypt's High Dam, Premier Nasser's No. 1 economic project, and added that already "scientific missions, archaeologists, people of agriculture and so on" were on their way from Russia to Eygpt...

And there is no stopping the gadgeteers: the latest air-conditioning units take another 10 h.p. to cool the air inside the car. Apart from the power-robbing gadgets, few engines ever develop horsepower figures contained in the advertising blurbs. Most automakers measure horsepower by means of a dynamometer: the engine is stripped of its load, ideally tuned and hooked up directly to the instrument. Thus, an advertised 200 h.p. engine may deliver that much on the test stand, but much less...
...crashes. But it did admit that it had failed to supply the Navy with the kind of engine the Navy expected. Back in 1948, the Navy gave Westinghouse a contract to perfect a more powerful model of the J40 jet engine, which Westinghouse was then developing. The improved model was to go into the Demon fighters. But Westinghouse ran into a multitude of troubles. It lacked the engineers and experimental facilities to develop the engine which proved full of bugs, e.g., excessive fuel consumption. As a stopgap, when the Navy was desperately in need of jet fighters for the Korean...
