...project is technically feasible," says Pirelli Engineer Attilio Angioletti. Lab tests have shown that the tirelike rubber fabric has a tensile strength of 2.5 tons per sq. in.-enough to withstand the battering of any sea. To test the system further, Pirelli and Furlanis are now building a 220-ft.-long "baby" dam at the mouth of another lagoon. If it works as well as expected, the Italian government will consider funding dighe di gomma for Venice...
...cherished by millions of fans; their loyalty kept it on the air until 1971. Sullivan's bashful, stiff-necked, tongue-tied and knuckle-crackingly nervous mannerisms won him as much affection as ridicule. Comedians competed to crack a smile on his stony face; mimics used him as a lab specimen. His malapropisms became legend. "Let's hear it for the Lord's Prayer," he once intoned after Sergio Franchi sang that hymn. A shrewd judge of talent, Sullivan introduced 25,000 performers to American TV, many, such as Bob Hope, Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Liza Minnelli...

Actually, his position is less attractive since Wilson has ruled out a twenties-style Lib-Lab coalition and therefore Liberal willingness to join a coalition means a willingness to join the Conservatives. If the Liberals are to continue to receive the benefit of protest votes from dissatisfied voters of both parties they must insure that they are not too closely identified with either one of the major...
...time of his appointment, Pipkin was a little-known physics professor whose only immediate connection with undergraduates was through a lab course he taught. In 20 years at Harvard Pipkin had never attracted much notice outside of his field. Until early May, he had never given a moment's thought to climbing through the Harvard administrative ranks...
...last week from the Soviet space center in Kazakhstan, every sign pointed to another attempt to link up with the Salyut 3 space station, which has been orbiting the earth since last June. Yet after only two days aloft, Soyuz 15 returned abruptly to earth without docking with the lab. The landing, made at night and in bad weather, seemed to underline the urgency of the return. What had gone wrong? As usual, the Soviets admitted no problem, but American space analysts speculated that Soyuz's electrical power plant may have failed during the docking attempt. They also considered...
