...performers were undistinguished, even faltering, some of the men dangerously close to losing their balance in the arabesques. However, Rima Wolff did not stand out for her liquid and sinuous performance in Maeve Kinkead's Times Three...
Families in Transition. With pampering comes primping. There is no end to which teen-age girls will not go, from shampooing their mounts' tails and fixing them with hair set to employing liquid shoe polish to cover up especially stubborn stall stains. All decked out, a horse must have some place to go, and one answer is the U.S. Pony Clubs ("Our Little League," says one mother). There are also the full-fledged horse shows, now almost weekly events in areas where there were once only three a year...
...first of Saturn's obvious troubles, the unexpected and early shutdown of two of the five J-2 engines powering the second stage (TIME, April 12), was traced to a fuel line that broke under the strain of liquid hydrogen flowing through it at approximately 100 m.p.h. The break set off a chain of events that lowered pressure in the engine, which automatically shut down. Because of an incorrectly wired circuit, the shutdown on the first engine sent a signal to another, perfectly operating engine, erroneously ordering it to shut down also...
Helium into LOX. To rid Saturn of Pogo, scientists may inject small amounts of liquid helium into the liquid oxygen (LOX) lines of two of the engines, damping the sloshing of the LOX and thus changing the resonant frequencies of the engines. Or they may place gas-filled cavities beneath the LOX lines of two engines to act as shock absorbers. Either solution would cause two engines to pulse at different frequencies from the others, preventing a five-engine resonant buildup of the Pogo Effect...
...owner of the new curler set plugs it into an electrical outlet and, in less time than it takes to fry ham and eggs, the plastic rollers (each containing a secret slow-cooling liquid) warm up. When the red dots on top of the curlers turn black, they are ready to be lifted off their individual rods and deployed. Without water, lotions or gels, dry hair can be curled around the hot rollers for five to ten minutes to achieve anything from a soft flip to Shirley Temple curls...
