Grubby & Cheerless. Ho Chi Minh is totally dependent on outside aid. Last week he announced a $2,500,000 grant from tiny Bulgaria and a Czechoslovakian offer to build him four new factories. On his own, he has not been able to lift his economy above the subsistence level...
...belly of the high-wing jet will be only 50 in. above the ground, so that trucks can easily be driven through its large tail door into its air-conditioned, pressurized cargo hold. Power from the four Pratt & Whitney turbofan engines will be great enough to lift the plane off 6,000-ft. runways with a 50,000-lb. load, making it possible to fly in and out of fields all over the world. It will fly the Atlantic with a 60,000-lb. load, the vaster Pacific with a 20,000-lb. load. The plane will be built...
...clever little rascal. The first time he saw a water tap he turned it on in a matter of seconds, and the first time he saw a zipper-zing! it was open before Maxwell could lift a finger. He quickly learned to trot around London on a leash, sniff at fireplugs, untie the tightest knot with his teeth, and sleep on his back with his arms outside the covers just as his master did. And whenever Maxwell overslept, Mij darted beneath the covers, ripped them loose and stole the pillow...
...game? The prof smears a little witch pitch on the squad's sneakers, and the home team shows a sudden bounce-clear to the roof of the gymnasium. Does the villain (Keenan Wynn) try to steal the hero's secret? The prof discreetly adds a lift to that low heel, leaves him bouncing like a pogo stick till the nutty putty is recovered. Do the Army, Navy and Air Force consider his conquest of gravity a subject of levity? The prof goes whooshing off to Washington, circumflivverates the Capitol dome, lands on the White House lawn and triumphantly...
...Eisenhower's scientific advisers still dawdled on the big rocket engine, preferring to put U.S. energies into less spectacular, and more fruitful, space research with small rockets. Finally, under pressure from those who saw the vast advantage the Communists would have in space exploration through their ability to lift heavy loads aloft, the Eisenhower Administration got moving in 1958 on the 1,500,000-lb.-thrust Saturn booster, a relatively primitive design of eight engines in a single cluster. The Saturn has been static-tested, but will not be operational until 1965 or 1966. Only recently has the program...
