...poem or passage wanted. Now for Nordine is broadcast after peak viewing hours, yet hundreds of listeners try to phone in every week. Those who fail to get through send in requests by mail. Last week he read, by request: Alexander Pope's "Ode on Solitude," Robert Frost's "Mending Wall," Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "How Do I Love Thee?", Carl Sandburg's "Clean Curtains," I Corinthians...
Party-Girl Fees. Another silent witness was Andrew Frost, who was suspended a fortnight ago as assistant FHA director for New Mexico. Did he ask a contractor to throw a party, with girls, on the night of a ground-breaking ceremony? Did he attend another party at a motel in Alamogordo, N.Mex. at which a contractor supplied three girls at a cost of between $400 and $500?

...Frost wanted a vertical take-off-which is quite a trick. Even such a powerful jet engine as Pratt & Whitney's J-57, with about 10,000 Ibs. of thrust, can barely lift its own weight vertically. After countless wind-tunnel tests, Frost finally found what he thinks is a solution in an aerodynamic principle known as "the Coanda effect...
...Russians Ahead? Around the Coanda effect, Avro's Frost created a startling design shaped like a saucer, 40 ft. in diameter, with a squat jet engine in the middle and a bubble cockpit perched above. From the engine's 35 burner tubes blasts would radiate to 180 exhaust ports all around the saucer's edge. To apply the Coanda effect the pilot needs some kind of movable control over one lip of each exhaust. To take off he would set these controls to deflect the blasts downward. The downblasts carry along with them more air from above...
Fantastic as Frost's saucer sounds, it may not be the first. The USAF's willingness to spend money on saucer-plane experiments results from a growing belief that the Soviet Air Force may be ahead of the U.S. in this field...
