Landa has never stayed long in one place once he has made his money, but he plans to make Penn-Texas an exception. "Within six months to a year," he says, "I'll stem the flow of blood." Apparently many Penn-Texas stockholders think he can do it. Penn-Texas stock, which plummeted during Silberstein's reign from $22.87 to $2.87 a share, last week gained $2.75 to close...
...desk, Sherman Adams is all business. His chief job is screening the endless flow of business that swamps the President's office and presenting Ike with the kind of direct information-such as a trimmed-down list of names for federal job appointments-on which the President can base a decision. "Whatever I have to do," explained the President at his press conference, "he has in some measure to do." Adams must also settle disputes among top-level officials.

During this maneuver, the normal control surfaces do not work because there is no flow of air over them, so their job is done by rotating compressed air nozzles. One of them in the tail controls pitch. Two more, one on each wing tip, take care of roll and yaw.

When the pilot wants to fly horizontally, he merely adjusts the Venetian blind so that the gas stream from the engines shoots directly astern. Then...

To get skin back onto Kilpatrick's right foot, he had to use pedicle grafts (TIME, April 8, 1957), with the skin flap left attached to its original site to maintain blood flow until it "took" at the new site. Obvious sources would have been Kilpatrick's left leg-the part that had had to be amputated. So Dr. Kelly had to try a triple play-from right thigh to left stump, later from there to the right foot. This kept Kilpatrick in a grotesquely distorted and uncomfortable position...
...forced to help doom their own people. They had to deliver a certain quota of slave laborers, and so it was agents of the council itself who fingered the victims. Another council-the Thirteen-came into being. Its job was to tie off the last artery of hope, the flow of smuggled goods from somewhere outside hell. The Thirteen hoped to buy time from the Nazis, and many a Jew hoped to buy time from the Thirteen. Corruption at the top was symbolized by a party given by one of the Thirteen for Gestapo officers; it cost 25,000 zlotys...
