...Manhattan's Margaret Sanger Research Bureau, clinic workers include teen-agers like Kathy Hull, 17, who gets course credits at her Brooklyn high school for volunteering. Chocolate cookies are passed around at the rap sessions that patients attend before they are examined and given contraceptives; boy friends are invited to the meetings and may even be present at the pelvic examinations if their girl friends agree. Said one who did: "He held my hand, and I was glad he cared enough to be there...
...Hull Trick. Completed three years ago in less than 20 months on land reclaimed from Ise Bay, the yard was designed to build two huge ships at the same time with a minimum of manpower. Steel plates are delivered by sea from Nippon Kokan's Fukuyama steelworks 300 miles away and fed into a computer-controlled process in which they are marked, cut, shaped and welded into major hull blocks. Two giant cranes that straddle the building dock then lift these components into place, and they are welded to the hull-again mostly by an automatic process. Another labor...
First Fatalities. His only major difficulty on the transatlantic race came on the fourth day out, when a connection on his self-steering gear snapped under the hull. "There was only one thing to do," Colas later told the London Observer, sponsor of the race. "I fixed myself to the boat with a line and went over the side. The water was intensely cold. It was blowing Force 8 [gale winds of up to 40 knots], and the waves were about 12 ft. high. But it had to be done. I had either to repair the boat or abandon...
Hair transplants have not quite restored the blond locks that gave Canadian Bobby Hull the nickname of "Golden Jet" shortly after he started playing hockey for the Chicago Black Hawks 15 years ago. But 33-year-old Bobby is more golden than he ever was-the new World Hockey Association has just signed him to abandon Chicago and become a player-coach for the Winnipeg Jets for a staggering $2.75 million over the next ten years, including an immediate cash bonus of $1 million. The W.H.A., which calls the deal the fattest contract ever signed by a professional athlete, hopes...
...back, he says, another aerodynamic factor comes increasingly into play. At supersonic speeds, the swept back wings create noticeable pressure on each other; Jones likens the interference effect to that created when two motorboats speed alongside each other and waves from the bow of one boat slam into the hull of the other. When the wing is pivoted in the Jones design, however, such interference is reduced, just as when one of the boats pulls ahead of the other. Moreover, the aircraft's efficiency is further improved by simultaneously rotating the tail plane to the same oblique position...
