...Parliament is to review the language question again in 1975. But at his first formal press conference last week, Premier Shastri confirmed his support for Hindi, and as for bureaucratic snafus, he said simply, "There will have to be some waste of time." With that, Shastri flew off to Bombay to participate in the dedication of India's first factory for the manufacture of plutonium-for which there is no Hindi word...
...servicemen whose relations he called up for a personal report when he got back. Burr hobbled through his most recent Jeep-and-helicopter round last month despite a painfully pinched leg nerve, and though he rarely gabs about Perry Mason (preferring to listen to G.I. gripes), the gunner who flew with him gives the consensus: "Ray Burr is one helluva fine...
...Grasping the rails of the chute, Wegner gingerly eased himself onto the bull's back and began to wrap the rope around his hand. The angry animal chose that instant to leap 4 ft. straight up, 10 ft. forward, and dig its front hooves into the dirt. Wegner flew headfirst over the horns ("like he was shot from a cannon," said one awed spectator), and as he lay gasping in the dirt, the bull ran over his body. Miraculously, he escaped with nothing worse than bruises. Four days later he was back in action, and unlucky enough to draw...
Papa César founded the Paris hotel whose name became a synonym for class. Mama Mimi, after her husband's death, boarded Nazis during the Occupation, keeping the Allies posted on their travels. Last week Charles Ritz, 72, now Chairman of Paris' Ritz, flew to Manhattan to check into the strategies of Europe's latter-day invaders. He sampled a $90-a-day suite at the New York Hilton, ran his finger over the moldings, ordered snacks in from room service (usually in the wee hours), and emerged from his experiment reassured. "The Hilton is good...
During its hourlong flight, the F-111 climbed to a modest 27,000 ft. and flew at only 450 m.p.h., which is less than one-third of its planned 1,650-m.p.h. speed. But the revolutionary wing mechanism worked perfectly, and the airplane handled easily with wings in all positions. Before landing, Pilot Johnson pulled the trombone control backward. The wings extended again, and the plane touched down lightly at moderate speed. Many more flights will be necessary, but the crucial wing-sweeping maneuver was wholly successful, and it was completed 24 days ahead of official schedule...
