Flight without wings-which are useless "in space and would be burned and torn away by the temperatures and stresses of re-entry-is made possible by the M2-F2's odd aerodynamic shape, which provides substantial lift in a fast-flowing airstream. Two sturdy rudders enable the craft to turn, and small flaps can be used to pitch its nose up or down. With such controls, a lifting body returning to the atmosphere from orbit at 18,000 m.p.h. might start on a trajectory designed to terminate near Kansas City, and still have the capability of flying...
...mechanical muscles that would give its user the strength of a giant, enabling him to lift 1,500-lb. loads with a minimum of effort. Nick named HardiMan, the machine is being developed by General Electric under a joint Army-Navy contract. Attached to the operator at his feet, forearms and waist, the steel-framed, pincer-armed skeleton mimics and amplifies its user's movements, could be used for bomb loading, underwater salvage and a variety of other functions, both military and civilian...

But for all the attention it received, Hughes polled only three per cent of the vote. Adams must lift the Hughes tally to at least ten per cent for his campaign to be considered even remotely successful...
...market-research study and a subliminal soft-sell. There is, for instance, the old "arctic gust" routine, whereby the air conditioning in a club is turned up full blast a few minutes before showtime. The hapless audience, unaware of what hit it, naturally attributes the sudden lift in spirits to the personality of the performer. And when it comes time for the singer's exit, the orchestra breaks into a fast "bright four" tempo that compels the listeners, whether they want to or not, to applaud briskly in rhythm with the music...
...TIME to state that Sylvia Plath "adds a powerful voice to the rising chorus of American bards who practice poetry as abreaction" (aberration?) is to sanction what today is the "in" thing to dp-lift the lid off the cesspool and revel in its bad odors. Spare us the ravings of the "confessional poet": poetry is no place for psychotic self-purgation. Miss Plath is typical of those who, in the words of Poet GustaV Davidson, have "corrupted poetry by emptying it of music, magic and meaning...
