...special kind of flying saucer, says Menzel, has been seen four times, just after the launching of a big "sky hook" balloon. They appear as roundish objects, apparently at a great height. He believes that they are caused by the balloon itself when it rises through a thin layer of warm air at a thousand feet or so (see diagram). As it rises, it punches a hole in the layer. Cold air flows in, forming a blob of denser air that acts as an imperfect lens. Observers on the ground see a small moving image of the balloon above...
...cracking unit could save $320,000 a year in fuel by installing 12,000 of his units. Joseph N.

Houdry himself thinks one of his biggest potential markets is in the 5,700,000 home oil burners in the U.S. By the use of six of his units (eventual cost: $30) he estimates the burners could be made 100% efficient, save up to 40% of their annual fuel...

...Kessler and other orthopedists, the rehabilitation of a man with a missing leg is fairly simple. A missing arm or hand is far more of a challenge. Kessler told the assembled surgeons about progress in electrical substitutes. Here the crucial job is to find an effective hook-up between muscle (or tendons) and the switches which control the supply of current from batteries to tiny electric motors...
