...unreality about it. Even if the immediate military crisis subsides, the prospect for real peace between Israel and the Arab states will also ebb a little farther, as it has done after each successive outbreak of border violence. At best, a long period of continued friction and undiminished enmity between Israel and her neighbors lies ahead. But however illusory are the hopes for an end to Israel-Arab discord, the United States and the other great powers have an inescapable obligation to prevent the disaster of another Middle Eastern...
There are a few obvious morals to be derived from this story. The first is that the Cambridge Police should recognize the friction between the uneducated but moral town and the educated gown by not employing non-official inhabitants of the town in the official chastisement of "gownies." The second truth which this tale teaches is that the Cambridge Police should place men who are accustomed to college frivolity on the Garden Street beat.

...miles, carbon deposits drain off 10 h.p.; a hot summer day robs the engine of another 20 h.p. because hot air decreases fuel mixture efficiency; another 20 h.p. goes to operate the fan belt, water pump, generator, etc.; still another 20 h.p. is lost in bearing, transmission and tire friction. With gadgets, the driver of a 200 h.p. car may wind up with little more than 100 h.p. to move...

...powered flight through the "thermal thicket." Launched, like the X-1A, from a mother plane, and pushed by a rocket engine designed to give a 16,000-lb. thrust, the slim-nosed, stainless steel X-2 will be used mainly to explore the effects of high speed and air friction on the metals used in aircraft building. In an emergency the capsule-enclosed cockpit can be ejected from the new plane; after it falls by parachute to a safe altitude, the pilot can bail out as if from any more conventional craft and float to earth with his own chute...
