Actually, the demands placed on modern stained glass exceed even those imposed on Gothic craftsmanship. For Berlin's Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, Loire constructed 22,000 foot-square glass blocks. No two are alike; all are completely abstract. The canons of modern architecture can make a well-lit garage as well as a bright cathedral, but building to enlighten man's soul requires a special illumination. Says Glassmaker Loire: "A stained glass window should be something unreal-something between heaven and earth-which, in fact, it literally...
...world's most heavily traveled aerial freeway. More than 1,800,000 passengers flew on the 347-mile corridor between San Francisco and Los Angeles in 1963, some quarter of a million more than on the second-place New York-Boston run, and the 1964 total will exceed 2,000,000. The route is so lucrative that four carriers-United, Western, TWA and Pacific Southwest-are cutting fares to win passengers and spending millions on promotion and new equipment...
...Detroit took a look ahead, agreed that the industry will have another bumper-to-bumper crop, but disagreed-to the tune of about 700,000 cars-about just how good the year will be. Cautious but optimistic, General Motors Chairman Frederic Donner predicted that 1965 sales "could well exceed the long-term trend estimate of 7,800,000 cars and approximate the levels reached in 1964." Chrysler President Lynn Townsend said flatly that "the industry is now in the process of putting two 8,000,000-car years back to back," estimated that 8,100,000 cars will be sold...
...Burns Harbor installation, where steel-plate production is scheduled to begin this month. Jones & Laughlin is tripling the size of its Hammond mill, and National is turning out flat rolled steel from its new mill at Portage. When all the new facilities are completed, Midwest steel capacity may exceed consumption by as much as 30%. Says a Pittsburgh steel executive: "I don't know who is going to hurt whom, but it is going to be one helluva scramble...
...seaborne secret was documented recently when skindivers of the U.S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries hung on the mouth of a big submerged trawl and took movies of fish as they were caught. The net moved through the water as slowly as 2 m.p.h., a pace that most fish can exceed with ease. But the skindivers learned that, fast as fish are, most of them are too lazy to take evasive measures. They swim languidly for a while to keep ahead of the net, but eventually they tire and drift back into its maw. After that, they are stuffed into...
