Success & Statistics. Saturn, the largest of U.S. missiles now ready for flight, and the one officially designated to take U.S. astronauts on their first flight as far out as the moon, passed its second test in a row with a perfect score. Its cluster of eight liquid-fuel engines lifted the 20-story, 927,000-lb. missile off the launch pad in a spectacular display of steam and ear-shattering sound. And since the test was concerned only with Saturn's first-stage booster, scientists were free to use the dummy upper stages for an ingenious experiment. Stored...
...Scotch. The convivial sessions in Charlie Halleck's "Clinic" or Lyndon Johnson's princely rumpus room can be as important as any committee hearing or party caucus. Even House Speaker John McCormack, a teetotaler, has decided as a matter of legislative policy to continue the gently liquid "Board of Education" meetings held by Sam Rayburn and earlier Speakers...
...they are reaching the widest, best-educated public in Russian history. The result has been a remarkable poetic revival. In theaters and student hostels from White Russia to Central Asia, overflow crowds listen to poets with almost religious fervor. On Sunday nights in summer, city squares echo to the liquid, incantatory cadences of Pushkin. Lermontov and. often. Zhenya Evtushenko. One good reason for poetry's popularity: scraps of "noiseless verse," as Russian writers call work that is too avant-garde or radical for publication, can easily be mimeographed and surreptitiously distributed from one group of youths to another. Though...
CONSUMER SPENDING. "The conditions are there for a further take-off in consumption," says Heller. Personal income is at a record of $2,000 per capita after taxes, and last year consumers added $20 billion to their liquid assets. But the Federal Reserve Board's quarterly survey of consumer buying intentions shows marked drops from early-1960 levels in plans to buy durable goods...
Moment's Notice. What makes Titan II unique is a storable fuel that requires no lox (liquid oxygen) and enables the missile to be ready to fire at a moment's notice. Lox, which is used in the Atlas and Titan I, is cheap and an efficient oxidizer, but its extreme cold ( - 297°F.) and its eagerness to boil away make it troublesome and unreliable. Instead of this chemical bad actor, Titan II uses nitrogen tetroxide as an oxidizer and a mixture of hydrazine and UDMH (unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine) as fuel. Both are liquids that can be stored...
