...document was designed to take the sting out of the sorest point of friction between the two countries. The issue has been synthetically whooped up by Filipino nationalists and complicated by maladroit handling by U.S. authorities in the Philippines and in Washington. The Philippines Act of Independence of 1934 gave the U.S. the right to maintain bases there after the islands became independent. In 1947, a year after actual independence was granted, 23 such areas were defined, only three of them major: Clark Air Field, 50 miles north of Manila; the Navy's Subic Bay installations on the northwest...
...industry is building an Atomic Age technology. In the atomic furnace, physicists will explore the structure of metals, search for new plastics, investigate new ways of refining oil, new uses for rubber. Radioisotopes from the 50,000-watt reactor will be used by industry as tracers to track friction damage in machinery, test new chemical carriers for cancer therapy, hunt new manufacturing techniques in fields ranging from rubber to building materials...
Only real source of friction in the house : Eero's unwillingness to play handyman. Says Aline: "It's the shoemaker's-children-have-no-shoes situation. The basement leaked for months without his taking any interest in it. Then, happily, one day during a strenuous spring thaw, it flooded to a depth of six inches. That was sufficient crisis to engage him. He sprang into action and within an hour a sump pump was making the house throb like an ocean liner...
...fast friendships we form during college days will last all our lives, say the speechmakers, but some-how I can hardly forget the moments of friction which to me have epitomized the companionships we'll so fondly remember...
...engine has many qualities that may endear it to Detroit and the motoring public. Like the gas turbine engine, it will run on the lowest grades of fuel, will even run on peanut oil. It needs no crankshaft or connecting rods, and it has so few rotating parts that friction and wear are far less than in standard piston engines. Furthermore, unlike the gas turbine, its turbine wheel runs cool, hence does not require costly heat-resistant alloys. General Motors has no immediate plans to produce the free-piston engine. But G.M.'s engineers hope that its debut...
