...housewife, and your article brought back glorious memories of being served my meals by a butler, never having to wash a dish, and nothing to do but be a good companion to my charges while we followed the sun around the world...
Tiros was now ready for business, and business soon came. At Fort Monmouth, N.J., a 60-ft. dish antenna of the Army Signal Corps picked up the satellite's radio beacon as it came over the curve of the earth. Up from the ground went a coded signal that made the satellite's innards spring into frantic activity. A shutter opened and closed. Electronic pulses flashed through tangles of hair-thin wire...
Across the Atlantic in Britain, a young (34) American electronics expert, Bill Young, sat in a gadget-packed trailer parked near Jodrell Bank's giant radio telescope. The 250-ft. dish picked up the "woo-woo" signal from Pioneer V's 5-watt transmitter on schedule and swung slowly to track it through the sky. Bill Young listened. Twenty-seven minutes after the launch, when the rocket was about 5,000 miles above the earth's surface, he pressed a button that sent a radio impulse to the telescope's big dish, and from there...

Another result: 32 chicken rotisserie stores have opened in Beirut since 1958, and 64 more await licenses. Greenleaf also sells chicks to local farmers who want to learn how to raise quality egg-layers or well-fattened roosters. To offset future...
