...Kantrowitz last week, Avco's miniature sun is a tube 30 inches long filled with very low-pressure gas. When a 4 billion-watt electrical spark from a bank of condensers is discharged across the end of the tube, the magnetic field that surrounds it should expand-so said Gold's theory-into the tube, pushing the gas ahead of it in a small, tame version of a solar shock wave...
...parents across the country are learning, school can expand the marriage rate as well as the mind. Student marriages in Dallas are increasing almost twice as fast as the population of the schools. In 1958 the Dallas rate soared 41% to 480 married students (including nine in grade schools), compared to 286 in 1957 and 72 in 1953. Though one somewhat tardy student was aged 27, last year's marrying kind were mainly (66%) aged 17 or younger, with three 13 or younger. Among them, they had 72 children...
...there can be no question of the importance of the expansion issue. Its economic implications are conspicious: that Harvard may have to pay as much as $10 million just for the land to expand; that it may be forced to underpay its professors (even if they do remain among the nation's highest paid.) The educational implications, as they would influence the substitution of lectures for sections and would perhaps reduce student-Faculty relations, are even more significant. It is impossible to pass on the probability or desirability of the various possibilities, but their existence is clear and important...
...complex, fed by Dixie's best public school system. In the center of the Piedmont, engineers mapped sites for nuclear, chemical and industrial research labs in a new, 4,000-acre "Research Triangle." East of Charlotte's booming suburbs, Alcoa let $40 million worth of contracts to expand its aluminum plant. Over the South's best highway net, semitrailers snorted day and night to serve a state economy so vigorous that it kept right on growing through the late recession...
...Lear, his company's growth is only the beginning. He thinks that a whole new market is opening up in the fast-growing field of private flying, predicts that it will expand fourfold by 1965, is spending $1,200,000 a year on new-product research. To make the crowded air safer, the CAB last year drafted a proposed order directing planes intending to fly in all weather to install airline-quality equipment by 1961. The order roused such protests on grounds of expense that it was withdrawn. Lear is confident that a similar order will eventually be issued...
