...will be able to do a lot more with four new products that Ronson is bringing out this week. The four: a rotating electric hairbrush that massages as it grooms; a combination blender-cooker that whips up omelets or sauces; a butane-fired chafing dish; and a somewhat improved butane cigarette lighter, with the first do-it-yourself replaceable spark wheel. Such innovations are expected to help raise sales from last year's $69 million to $77 million in 1965. That's quite a bit for a company started 70 years ago by a tinkerer named Aronson...
...veil? Dr. Barry Clark of the National Radio Observatory at Green Bank, W.Va., and Dr. Arkady Kuzmin of Moscow's Lebedev Institute of Physics explained that the thermal radiations they observed from Venus seemed to come from a solid surface. Moreover, Caltech's two big-dish antennas found the planet's actual diameter to be less than the 7,655-mile span that is observed optically. As a result, the astronomers assume that they have measured the planet itself and that the dense cloud covering is at least 40 miles thick, twice as thick as the cloud...
...radio transmitter, it took 8 hr. 35 min. to transmit the coded data that made up one picture. And by the time the signals reached a tracking station, they were no stronger than one-billionth of one-billionth of a watt. Those faint whispers were picked up by big-dish antennas and amplified a thousand times as they were piped through a liquid helium maser. So slow was the transmission rate that no complete picture could be received at any one tracking station. As the Earth's rotation carried one station out of range, another moved into position...
...absolute informality under the guidance of Serkin and, since 1960, Cellist Pablo Casals, who annually makes the trip from Puerto Rico just for the festival. A clapboard barn has been turned into a communal dining room and studio; a second violin might rub elbows with Eugene Ormandy over a dish of veal and boiled potatoes, and everybody takes a turn at doing the waiting chores; last weekend two of the men on duty were Max Rabinovitsj, concertmaster of the St. Louis Symphony, and Mischa Schneider of the Budapest Quartet...
...hundred and fifty miles away is Hound Ears, in the Carolina mountains and opened for only a year. Hound Ears owes much to the personality of its owners Grover and Harry Robbins, casual native sons who let their poodle eat from a dish on the dining-room table and invite any guest who doesn't like it to leave. In the winter, the resort is a favorite ski area and already millionaires are beating a path to its door. Operated both as a club and a hotel, Hound Ears was named for a nearby mountain formation. The Robbins brothers keep...
