...Deighton and John le Carre have written such spy stories, and so did the late Ian Fleming. The literary chromosomes of Graham Greene, C. P. Snow and Vladimir Nabokov are also traceable in this deliberate hybrid. But Anthony Burgess is not trying to imitate them. He has never written an unoriginal novel or an unlaminated one. Every Burgess surface conceals another, like Salome's veils, and they must all peel off to expose the author's naked core. In this exceptional book, subtitled An Eschatological Spy Novel, the reader quickly discovers that Burgess has much more...
While there is meticulous method in Francis Vollmer's madness, there is not nearly enough madness in the narrative methods of Richard Condon (The Manchurian Candidate). What the author intends is a black comedy on the peril of an obsessive delusion; what he achieves is a hybrid between bedroom-comedy pink and olive-drab boredom...
...than originally expected. To get anywhere near the requirements of each service, the Pentagon has had to turn its dual-service project into something akin to two distinct planes-and the Air Force and Navy are grumbling loudly that each version has been compromised for the sake of a hybrid that fully meets the needs of neither service. Troubled by these facts, Senator John McClellan's investigations subcommittee, which conducted much-ballyhooed hearings on the TFX in 1963, plans to resume its inquiry early next year...

Minneapolis-based Archer-Daniels-Midland is shipping a protein-enriched powdered-soybean beverage to countries as far off as Korea. Corn Products Co. is working on hybrid seeds to improve corn yields in South America, recently brought out an enriched version of a familiar Brazilian baby food called Maizena. Says Executive Vice President Beverly Warner: "Unless you take 30 years to educate people, you must give them nutritional foods through things they are accustomed...
...graft the convenience of helicopters to the greater speed and durability of conventional planes. Ling-Temco-Vought's tilt-wing XC-142A can fly straight up, backward at 35 m.p.h. or forward at 400 m.p.h. Lockheed, a relative newcomer to the field, is building an odd-looking hybrid called the AAFSS (for Advanced Aerial Fire Support System) with stubby wings, a pusher propeller and rotor blades to give the Army more close-support firepower than the AH-1G. Another version, still experimental, would take off like a helicopter, fold its rotors in midair, fly on at 500 m.p.h. with...
