Leading to a plastic conduit, the manhole serves the patient in much the same way that a fuel oil intake in the sidewalk serves a suburban home. The conduit, 1 in. to 3 in. long, is inserted through a slit in the belly muscle. It is threaded to take a screw-plug that seals the whole apparatus when it is not in use. For irrigation, this plug is unscrewed and replaced by one with a hole drilled through on the bias. Through this hole a tube is inserted to carry the irrigation fluid. By rotating the plug with its angled...
Precisely on schedule, the Skybolt dropped away from its mother plane. As it fell, the eight-finned after section kept it from tumbling. Then, just after the fins separated and went astern, the first of the two-stage missile's solid-fuel engines ignited, spouting a rooster tail of naming gas. Quickly Skybolt accelerated, spurted far ahead of the B-52, turned its nose upward and climbed sharply out of sight. By the time its dummy warhead splashed in the ocean far downrange, it was clear that Skybolt, which has been under forced-draft development by Douglas Aircraft...
...airborne missiles can be launched 1,000 nautical miles away from their targets; the two-stage missile's Aerojet engines burn solid fuel, and not much of it. When Skybolt is fired, it already has the respectable forward speed of 600 m.p.h., and most of the atmosphere is already far below. With little fuss, by land-launched rocket standards, it climbs into the vacuum of space and arches...
Alternative & Rejection. One obvious alternative would have been quietly spaced-out rises, on individual types of steel as demand for them permitted. At his press conference. Blough conceded that Big Steel had considered and rejected such a course. And even before U.S. Steel rescinded its proposed rise. Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. President Leonard Rose cautiously declared that his company was "studying each of our product lines to determine the feasibility of specific price changes in the light of market conditions." In retrospect, most steelmen agree that such a course would have had the advantage of hitching prices to demand...
...Soon? Predictably, the President's program collided head-on with some of Washington's most potent lobbies. The truckers and barge lines loudly condemned it, and the airlines geared for battle against the proposed tax on jet fuel. The President called for prompt action on his entire package, but with Congress heading toward adjournment in early summer, one Capitol Hill insider prophesied: "It doesn't look as if there will be a helluva lot of legislation coming out of this message this year." Chances for action this year are dimmest for Kennedy's most meaningful...
