...Kennedy Onassis, put her husband's yacht Christina at Ethel's disposal for a Bahamian cruise. Close Friends Blanche and lim Whittaker signed on for the voyage too, and when Ethel arrived down south, a surprise present awaited her: a gold charm bracelet appropriately adorned with a jet plane, bus, typewriter, camera and microphone from the 50 newsmen who covered R.F.K.'s primary campaign...
THEY provide proof that Harvard is first and finally an institution of the higher classes, a plaything of the interlocking Government-Pentagon-foundation world which makes American foreign policy. It is an exclusive club, employment agency and training center for the jet-setting intellectual elite who swing deals for the fates of the starved nations in just the way businessmen and generals do. The common style of corporate chieftains, warmakers and Harvard's elite is no accident: many prestigious Harvard professors and administrators are deacons of the church of American empire. Their hands are bloody. The work they...
...years since Lyndon Johnson told the world of a new U.S. spy plane faster and higher-flying than the old U2, the SR-71 has remained wrapped in secrecy as dark as its dull black paint.

"I finally decided there was no future for a Negro in modeling," she says...
Coiled Tubing. The new steamer, a brainchild of William Lear, developer of the Lear Jet, supposedly has none of the liabilities of the old. It is powered by an external-combustion motor (which burns fuel outside the cylinders), uses yards of coiled tubing instead of an old-fashioned steam boiler and a special chemical preparation (to prevent freezing) instead of water. The fluid is sealed in, so it can't boil away. It is superheated to vapor by a burner that, according to Lear, "can burn anything from ground camel dung to high-grade gasoline"-although he recommends kerosene...
