...read with interest your Dec. 19 article "Pioneers in Space," in which you mention the "mishaps" attendant on the Snark missile program. I am sure that not only the employees of Northrop Aircraft, Inc., but the military personnel close to the project, share my conviction that the Snark has contributed far too much to U.S. missile technology to be dismissed with a feeble witticism ["the Snark-infested waters of Cape Canaveral"]. At the time the Snark program began, immediately after World War II, the problems of developing an accurate intercontinental missile were widely considered impossible of solution; the project...
...doubled, and new fast passenger planes are to ply feeder routes. But, faithful to the Leninist dream (in Russia, electric light bulbs are ironically called Ilyich after Lenin's patronymic), the big story was electric power: an overall increase from 160 to 320 billion kilowatts.

The German theologian, who joined the faculty last fall, is currently giving an undergraduate course on "Religion and Culture," and is especially interested in the religious side of such fields as depth psychology...
Your article gives belated praise to the Viscount and to the Rolls-Royce Conway and Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire jet engines. But what about the license agreements in the U.S. for eight other British power plants ? . . . Your article does not mention the hundreds of smaller feeder aircraft. It is silent on the many military aircraft that have been supplied in a steady stream to our own R.A.F. and foreign air forces throughout the world...
