Hatch spent 18 years in Martandam. The villagers soon nicknamed him "Double-Your-Money" Hatch. They learned to breed the best poultry in India, instead of the semi-wild jungle fowl that laid an egg every two weeks. They learned to build roads, how to control malaria and cholera, weave baskets, rugs and rope. Instead of their sticky, grimy jaggery (unrefined sugar candy), Hatch taught them to make clean palmyra sugar to be sold at double the price of jaggery. He introduced scientific beekeeping, revived the art of kuftgari (working designs on iron and silver). At the same time...
...work well in Washington. He has the staying power of a stevedore ("I don't quit easy") and a temperament as smooth as Devonshire cream. He rents a two-room apartment-but is rarely there except to sleep (making his own bed afterward) or to fry an occasional egg.

Commanding officers have found helicopters a smooth, swift substitute for the jolting jeep for front-line tours. Last week the helicopters found another customer. The Army, hitherto restricted to small craft (under 4,000 pounds), got permission to fly the big copters, will form transport companies with 23 helicopters each, specially equipped to carry troops in amphibious, mountain and jungle warfare...
Clippers & Copters. Igor Sikorsky, now 61, has been working 42 years to win such recognition for the egg beater. He designed his first helicopter in Russia in 1908, but it never got far off the ground. Sikorsky turned to plane design, turned out the first four-engine ship for the Czar's air force in World...
