...tentative formula for coverage that most news organizations considered inadequate and impractical. In conference with a group of newspaper, magazine and broadcasting representatives invited to discuss the situation, Dulles modified his previous proposal (TIME, May 6) for pooled coverage by a limited number of "responsible" correspondents and offered to lift the ban for ten to 15 newsmen for a six-month trial period. His aim: to restrict China coverage to the twelve* news-gathering organizations that had correspondents on the mainland before the Communists took over...
Airplanes are slowly outgrowing their need for long runs on the ground before getting into the air. The reason is jet engines, which deliver so much thrust that they can lift themselves and an airframe vertically, without needing take-off help from the lift of a fast-moving wing...
...small, experimental aircraft, and Bell has not told how much weight of airframe, payload and fuel its thrust-diverters can lift. Neither has Ryan given figures for its X-13. The chances are that each of the rival VTOLS has advantages. The X-13 needs launching equipment, while the X-14 does not. On the other hand, the X-13 is pushed into the air by the undiminished thrust of its jet engine. The thrust-diverter of the X-14 probably wastes thrust, reducing the weight that the X-14 can carry...
Boston-born Korczak Ziolkowski likes to do things on a big scale. A brawny six-footer who wears a full-blown, eight-inch beard, he can still, at 48, lift a 500-Ib. weight off the floor. His name itself (approximate pronunciation: Kor-chak Jule-fcttjf-ski) is so big a mouthful that even old friends avoid using it so they won't mispronounce it. But the biggest thing about Ziolkowski is his ambition. It is to carve the most mountainous piece of man-made sculpture in recorded history. He is working on a piece of material that...
Jacqueline Brookes is fine as Desdemona, "the sweetest innocent that e'er did lift up eye." Her handling of the moments when she is slapped and bewhored by Othello is deeply affecting, and her dying words most touching. Olive Deering does well as the loose Bianca. But Sada Thompson's Emilia is too Desdemona-like; she ought to be sharply contrasted with her mistress--less refined, more common and blunt, at times even vulgar. I suspect the result would have been better if the Misses Thompson and Deering had exchanged roles...
