...Brussels. At the very least, the inclusion of Britain and its three fellow applicants in the Market would make it a more formidable rival of the superpowers in terms of population (more than 250 million) and gross national product (see map opposite). At best, their admission could impart fresh momentum to the old dream of Monnet, who was sure that "once a common market interest has been created, then political union will come naturally...
...considered legally "aged." If old casks were used, the whisky had to bear the label "Stored in used cooperage"-a line not likely to boost sales. By contrast, the light grain whisky used in Scotch is distilled at 190 proof. Scotch is also ripened in used barrels, which impart no charred flavor to the whisky's light body. But finally, in 1968, the distillers won federal approval to mature a new high-proof whisky in used kegs and label it "aged...
...Atlantic off the coast of Brazil in only 38 hours. Again Mission Control decided not to risk firing a possibly damaged engine. If, on the other hand, the 26-ton service module were jettisoned after rounding the moon, a long burn of the small Aquarius descent engine would impart about the same velocity to the lightened spacecraft, setting it down in the South Atlantic in less than 40 hours. But that strategy too carried unnecessary risks. It would so deplete the LM's fuel supply that later course corrections might not be possible. Also, loss of the service module would...
...Fifty million motorists simultaneously applying their brakes from a speed of 60 m.p.h. would impart 50 times as much energy to the earth's crust as David Stone's jumping Chinese. Careful coordination could focus the energy at any point on earth. Unfortunately, the first Chinese jump would destroy our highways and prevent a retaliatory attack. Therefore a preemptive strike should be made at once...
...cotton industry is fighting back, but its $13 million research and advertising campaign amounts at best to a rearguard action. Research is concentrated on quick development of permanent-press fabrics made entirely of cotton. Ordinarily, such fabrics must be strengthened with synthetics, since the chemicals used to impart a permanent press weaken cotton fibers. The first limited success was an all-cotton durable-press shirt marketed this year...
