Amen. In Cedar Lake, Ind., in a 25-word-or-less essay contest on the subject, "How I Want My Wife to Dress for a Party," Winner Florian J. Heiser needed only one word: "Quickly...
Engineers from Lockheed last week were examining two other mysterious mishaps: the midair disintegration of two turboprop Electras-over Buffalo, Texas, and Tell City, Ind.-at a cost of 97 lives. In one of the biggest and most expensive (estimated cost to all participants, including F.A.A. and the airlines: $25 million) test programs in aviation history, Lockheed has placed an entire airplane in a huge mechanical jig, is literally shaking it to test its vibration tolerances. A whole wing section complete with engines has been taken off the production line, is being twisted and bent to destruction to check...
...small town of Spencer, Ind. one night last week, Hardware Dealer Richard Lewis dropped in on the school board meeting to raise a point of order. His son Timothy, 10, is an ace speller-according to the 100 grades he gets on fifth-grade tests at school.

"I don't think I'm getting the benefit...
...NASA's space flight boss, Silverstein directs the planning of U.S. space missions, the payload design and development, and the research operation once a satellite or probe has been fired. His qualifications are ample. Born in Terre Haute, Ind., Silverstein graduated from hometown Rose Polytechnic Institute in 1929 and, although he had several better-paying offers, took an engineering job with NASA's predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, at $2,000 a year. Starting at Virginia's Langley Aeronautical Laboratory, he helped design the first full-scale wind tunnel, moved to Cleveland's Lewis...
Among those still discussing and analyzing the cause of the Lockheed Electra crash (63 dead) near Tell City, Ind. last month, there appears an ominous possibility: that the aircraft was torn apart in mid-air by a phenomenon which airmen and meteorologists have taken to calling CAT-for "clear air turbulence." If the theory proves to be true, pilots will have to find ways to keep their ships out of CAT's claws...
