...Bombing Flour Sacks. The craft, so small that it tucks into a garage, so light that it can be lifted to the airfield atop a Thunderbird, was developed by Igor Bensen, 49, a Russian-born engineer. In the 1950s he set up Bensen Aircraft in Raleigh, N.C., to make and market sets of parts, which cost anywhere from $700 without engine to $2,600 for a complete kit that bolts together like an Erector set. To help push his product, Bensen founded the Popular Rotorcraft Association three years ago. Membership has already grown to 4,000 in all 50 states...
...Mirage dry lake, 100 miles north of Los Angeles, the Southern California chapter, which has 250 members, last week was able to mount a 44-plane air force for its annual flyin, put on a dazzling display of aerial stunts, precision landings, and simulated bombing with colored flour sacks. The gyrocopters came as plain or fancy as the owners could afford, but all were equipped with a pusher engine, one rudder, one rotor blade, and a single seat with steering stick. The gas tank holds six gallons, good for about an hour's flight. The craft can rise...
...white and blue monokini war-whoops things up. The locale is "the Big Dormitory," and on the porch of this flophouse rock two marijuana-smoking harpies, a slatternly clown (Kate Reid), who runs the joint, and a local society editor (Zoe Caldwell), who seems to have escaped from a flour barrel. Miss Caldwell is an auspicious new acting presence on Broadway. But the play is a rubber-dagger stab at theater of the absurd that lacks lonesco's lunacy or Pinter's menace. It seems to have come less from Williams' pen than from his penwiper...
Kushi's institute, and especially its diet, consisting mostly of rice and flour, attracted a consderable following in Cambridge last winter. Kushi said that seven or eight Harvard students were still regular patrons of the institute, that others attended lectures without taking part in the diet, and that he did not think his move to Wellesley more than a month ago had cut down on his Harvard following...
...discovery was to raise some serious second thoughts about the preservation of food by radiation, a practice that is gradually gaining acceptance. Relatively heavy doses of radiation have been used to kill microorganisms that cause decay in food; lighter doses prevent potatoes from sprouting and kill insects that infest flour and cereals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers the process safe enough to have cleared irradiated bacon, wheat and potatoes for public consumption, and the U.S. Army has already served some irradiated food in its mess halls. In Canada, the world's first private, commercial food-irradiation plant...
