...product, Rosenthal's investigation found the award to be as much an advertising gimmick as a guarantee to consumers. The legislator contends that the main criterion for granting the seal is whether a manufacturer agrees to place his advertising in Good Housekeeping magazine. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration has seized as "contraband" for quality and safety reasons at least two products advertised in the magazine, and is reportedly investigating several others...
Acid Test's deep freeze was a special nightmare for supply officers. Gasoline, for transport and collapsible Yukon stoves, had first priority, far ahead of ammunition. Next came rations: each infantryman must tuck in a formidable 5,000 calories of food a day to replace heat lost by his body. Water was another life-or-death commodity. Ski troopers in the desertlike dry cold require between three and five quarts of water daily. While equipment designers have achieved some success in producing insulated canteens and tanks to transport water into the field, the delay caused by a flat tire...

Dirty glasses, old newspapers, crumpled cigarette packs. Even the people are debris. Women wander aimlessly, their hair frazzled, their makeup so streaked that their...
...cabin will be divided into five compartments, two first-class and three economy. Galley-coatrack-lavatory complexes will separate the compartments, and these dividing blocks will also have wide screens for movies. Since the new jets will carry 15 stewardesses rather than the six on the 707s, food service may well be faster. A circular staircase will lead up to a second deck, which can be used as a cocktail lounge. Underneath the passenger cabin, baggage will be stored in some 16 removable containers for speedier handling...
