...shall be. (The Comet has an 8,000-ft. pressure in the cabin while flying at 40,000 ft.) Additional pressurizing to make the TU-104 comfortable for its passengers would require considerable redesigning and perhaps a damaging amount of additional weight and additional stress on the air frame...
...looking place. And in Washington, where the younger children attend Sidwell Friends School (which recently announced that it planned to desegregate), the Eastlands almost never go out, very rarely entertain. In summertime, however, when the family gets home to Doddsville. all this changes. There the unpretentious, six-bedroom frame house, surrounded on three sides by cotton fields, bulges with guests. Says Eastland: "We always have at least five guests for dinner [at midday] and one or two staying the night." There, too, Jim can get his fill of hunting, and ride his two Tennessee walking horses...

It is the missing electronic link that is making possible a host of new devices, e.g., a wrist radio, a hearing aid so tiny that it fits inside an eyeglass frame. In a jet fighter the use of transistors cuts 1,500 Ibs. from the plane's weight. Last week the mighty mite had the electrical industry racing madly to expand transistor production: Motorola is putting up a $1,500,000 plant in Phoenix; Westinghouse is building in Youngwood...
