...folded into a small package and spread out swiftly. This makes it attractive for use as a steerable parachute or a glider. With an engine attached, the handy Flex Wing may serve for military cargo-carrying, wire-laying and other quick-transport jobs. If its nylon fabric is replaced with cloth woven of heat-resistant metal wires, the Flex Wing may be able to ease space vehicles down through the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds. One candidate for this treatment, say Ryan engineers, might be the elaborate eight-engine booster of the Saturn rocket, which will crash to costly destruction...
...high-necklined junior dresses, unfitted, but figure-suggesting. 'It's almost like walking around in a slip," says a Henri Bendel buyer.

The Choral Society contributed six delightfully cool and sweet songs by Schumann, the chorus maintaining an airy tone and a group of soloists spun an intricate, but occasionally ill-balanced, texture. Three choruses of Haydn ended the concert on a tender, almost sentimental note. They were, indeed...
...President Pusey has not learned the bloody lesson of 1789; he has not studied those Brumaires, those Thermidors. Only now does he learn how fragile is the fabric of society, how tenuous are the ties that hold together our common life...
