...rebuttal, nylon makers emphasize the tensile strength that gives nylon greater resistance than rayon to severe impacts -especially at the high temperatures generated by turnpike driving. And though independent research seems to suggest that Tyrex is strong enough to withstand any normal driving hazard, the nylon message has reached the motorist's ear. In the first quarter of this year, nylon won more than half (51.9%) of the replacement tire market, though it made only the slightest of inroads (from 1.3% to 1.6%) in the new-car business...
...less shielding, is an extremely challenging engineering task. As an aircraft power plant, it does not appear practical for combat use. Fifteen miles of tubing carry liquid metals at temperatures up to 2,000° F., and there are 26,000 welded joints. A leak would constitute a severe hazard...
Poet Lowell (Lord Weary's Castle) has taken the more demanding dare. For one thing, as he himself notes, Racine's flawless "syllabic Alexandrines do not and cannot exist in English."* Lowell relies on loose-rhythmed couplets with idiomatic echoes of the English Restoration. Another hazard is that the powdered elegance and stately cadences of French 17th century tragic drama have proved persistently uncongenial to Anglo-American tastes. Poet Lowell, stoking his lines with fire and flair, keeps Phaedra and its key characters well above room temperature...
Tactically, the Kennedy-ordered buildup of guerrilla training will add a new arm to the U.S.'s limited-war capability, and potential strength to small nations threatened with Communist infiltration. The project opens up the hazard that enthusiastic anti-Communist guerrillas may take off on a limited war of their own without an American by-your-leave. But this hazard is small compared with the value of training Communist-threatened allies in countering the Communists' favorite infiltration tactic. One new project in the works with an eye cocked toward Castro's Cuba: a branch school for counterguerrilla...
