...last week with the first commercial flights of the Douglas DC-8. Slightly slower than the Boeing 707 (550 m.p.h. v. 540 m.p.h.). the DC-8 boasts a few new passenger comforts, such as its unitized seat with fold-out table, reading lamp, call and air-flow buttons. With the jet, Delta, which put it in service from New York to Atlanta, got the jump on its chief competitor; Eastern Air Lines will not start jet service until January. For United, the coast-to-coast nonstop service came months behind the 707 flights of its chief competitors, American Airlines...
...course of Moore's art form has twisted and turned throughout human history; it has run across shallows and been slowed-but never stopped. And after each stagnant period it has moved again in full flow. In ancient Rome the statuary was a way of life, as much a part of the city as the humans who walked the streets. That way of life seemed ended when the barbaric Goths came pillaging, leaving behind them ruins of Roman art.

There, long before dusk, nervous wives set out the evening meal and draw the shutters, for, as the local saying goes, when the sun sets, blood begins to flow. Last year 87 murders were recorded in the province, and no one knew how many others went unreported by Ilocanos who did not want to get involved as witnesses. In Ilocos Sur's capital of Vigan (pop. 24,000), where 70 have been murdered in the past two years, there...
...dogs that had died of the disease, Surgeon Segal found the heartworms nestled together in the pulmonary artery. Then he operated on live dogs from the pound. Again the worms were neatly concentrated, so he was able to cut out the mass and restore full blood flow through the artery. The operation, says Dr. Segal, is similar to that used to correct stenosis (narrowing) of the pulmonary artery in children. The work, therefore, affords valuable practice and may turn up information of value in human surgery. Since he rates it as research and not a medical service, Dr. Segal collects...
