With Detroit becoming more sensitive to safety, two additional safety features will be standard on most '67s. One is the collapsible steering column, whose steel-mesh center section accordions under impact and absorbs shock. The other is the dual braking system, with two hydraulic fluid lines instead of one, so that emergency braking power remains if one line is damaged. The Senate Commerce Committee is close to approving legislation that may make other safety features mandatory on '68 models, probably including headrests and rupture-proof fuel tanks...
This plan has been developed almost secretly over the past year and a half under the guidance of Commission Vice President Robert Marjolin, who has long labored to mesh the diverse policies of the Six. It is a projection of where the Common Market should go economically in the next five years, and as such is the first attempt to apply to the Common Market family the kind of planning that is used by the individual members, especially France, in their domestic economies...
Karen Levine, the daughter of a New York radar engineer, goes to sleep at night with her transistor radio pulsating reassuringly beneath her pillow. Her dream is always the same: she becomes a dancer on TV's Hullabaloo and gaily frugs the night away.

Immediately after World War II, astronomers all over the world hastened to build steel-ribbed parabolic dishes and ungainly rows of spindly antenna arrays. They even lined a small valley with wire mesh and began to scan the skies for radio sources. These pioneer radio astronomers scanning the sky "saw" only blotchy, vague shapes-like street lights dimly seen through...
