...fall of Windfall brought other penny stocks crashing down with it. Many run-of-the-mine speculators took a hard dive last week, and even experienced investors took a stiff beating. Many companies in the Timmins area were able to put money in their treasuries before the Windfall affair, intend to go on drilling on the theory that one failure is not decisive. But the Windfall case could discourage the speculative buying that Canada needs to find mines, and it will probably produce legislation to introduce stricter regulation of the securities business, including full disclosure of insiders' dealings...
Also on the way are more of the fast, powerful AD1 Skyraider dive bombers. 85 of which have already been sent to replace battle-worn T-28 converted trainers: by year's end 150 Skyraiders will be in Viet Nam. Capable of hauling 10.000 Ibs. of rockets, bombs and other weaponry (for the T-28's 1,500 Ibs.), the stubby, potbellied Skyraiders can thus multiply the number of attacking runs possible during each sortie. Together with the U.S. Army's ubiquitous helicopters, the ADIs are increasing the effectiveness of the air-to-ground fighting that...
...primitive telescope at the stars some three centuries ago has man's view of the universe been so singularly changed. In its faultless flight to the moon, the purple-winged spacecraft Ranger VII kept its mechanical eyes open, its agile electronic brain functioning all through its final dive. The sharp, clear pictures it sent home to earth were more than atonement for three years of Ranger failures; they opened a path into the future as they marked the most significant achievement of the age of space...
...this European, Senator Barry Goldwater appears not as a fascist ogre, but as perhaps the last hope of the American people to pull their country out of its headlong dive into that oblivion where everybody and everything, races, parties and states, shall be mongrelized into a drab grey uniformity, watched over, of course, by Big Daddy in the White House...
With 15 holes to go, Lema was 12 under par, seven strokes ahead of burly Mike Souchak. A sudden thundershower made the pros dive for their umbrellas -and almost literally Tony landed on his nose. He lost a stroke at the sixth hole, another at the eighth, two more on the 480-yd. ninth when he bombed his drive under the branches of a lowhanging pine tree (see cut) and barely managed to salvage a bogey. ("I just crawled in there on my hands and knees, said a quick prayer, and backhanded the ball," said Tony.) But the real disaster...
