...instrument, about the size of a TV camera, is called a radiation pyrometer. It was built under the supervision of Donald H. Menzel, Director of the Harvard College Observatory, with the collaboration of Hector Ingrao, Research Engineer and Lecturer on Astronomy, who designed the device. The pyrometer is a product of the Observatory's Infrared Laboratory, established with funds from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration...
President Donald Douglas Jr. is clearly gambling that the DC-9 will help reverse his company's decline. The loss of the Skybolt contract last January cut Douglas' orders backlog to $806 million (v. $2.2 billion in 1956). Sales during the past six years have slipped 30%, to $750 million in 1962, and the work force is only half what it was six years ago. Canny James McDonnell, chairman of St. Louis' thriving McDonnell Aircraft, has bought an estimated 200,000 Douglas shares and wants to take over. Though Douglas directors rebuffed his bid last month, they...
Only after everyone is seated does Donald H. Fleming, Professor of History, stride briskly into Emerson D to deliver his lectures on American thought. He unwinds his scarf with a flourish, and jauntily waves his acknowledgement to the friendly hisses or applause with which his History 169 students often greet him.

Oxnam requested and got a well-publicized hearing from House Un-American Activities Committee, belligerently went through a ten-hour session countering the subcommittee's sloppily documented charges. At the end, the Congressmen wearily agreed that Oxnam had no tinge...
...growing numbers of areas, moderates--often with the assistance of liberal forces--are winning at the polls as well as in the market place. In South Carolina, moderates with labor and Negro backing managed to elect Donald Russell to the governor's office and subsequently succeeded in efforts to integrate a previously all-white university. At the same time they re-elected Olin Johnson to the Senate over concentrated conservative-segregationist opposition in both the Democratic primary and the general election...
