Despite these shortcomings, many U.S. companies have established fluidics divisions. They are spending millions of dollars annually on fluidics research and development and will sell an estimated $30 million worth of fluidic products this year. One pioneering firm, Maryland's Bowles Engineering Corp., works entirely on the development of fluidic technology and systems. Appliance makers are developing washing machines and dishwashers with fluidic controls. Detroit auto manufacturers are considering a number of fluidic devices such as fluid amplifiers for gas turbine engines. Mattel Inc. is developing fluidic-controlled toys that will respond to sound, and General Time Corp...
...likely to abate, for nearly every significant incident of that tragic day is fraught with controversy and coincidence. Even a new investigation would be committed to making its own judgments and offering its best reasoned opinions-just as the Warren Commission did-in crucial areas where no firm facts exist. Thus, lacking any new evidence, there seems little valid excuse for so dramatic a development as another full-scale inquiry...
...they are easier to keep sharp, heavy cast-iron or copper pots and pans because they spread heat evenly and won't tip over. The food shopper can be sure that fish is fresh, she advises, if the eyes are clear, the gills bright red and the flesh firm.

A souffle has a much better chance of rising if it is put on the middle rack of an oven preheated to 400°, which is then immediately reduced...
Brown, Novak & Napier sounds like a plausible name for a law firm; actually it is a winning combination at Stanford. Inspired by Presbyterian The ologian Robert McAfee Brown and Roman Catholic Philosopher Michael Novak, religion has become one of Stanford's most adventurous intellectual disciplines, and Dean of the Chapel B. Davie Napier has turned the once staid services at the pseudo-Roman esque Memorial Church into a continuing experiment in worship. The result is an enlightening case study of how Christianity on a secular campus can be imaginatively brought to life...
...records. The tendency of customers to trade up from lower-priced cars cheers most automakers because costlier cars bring fatter profit margins. But what worries the auto companies' big-picture men is that once a customer hankers to trade for something fancier, he may jump to the other firm's line. In October, sales of Ford Motor's middle-priced Mercurys fell 11%, to 33,000, and its Lincolns dropped 18%, to 7,300. For that reason Ford shifted drivers at its Lincoln-Mercury Division: to another job in the company went Lincoln-Mercury Division Boss Paul...
