...REPORTS: THE SUPERSONIC RACE (CBS, 10-11 p.m.). The French and British are already cutting metal for their Concorde, the Russians expect to fly their version in 1968, and the U.S. is expected to decide by Jan. 1 which of two fiercely competing designs, Lockheed's or Boeing's, it will finally build. Reporter Bill Stout examines the problems and promise of the giant planes...
...Eyed Wurlitzer. François Dallegret's La Machine is a far heftier entree. A Frenchman, now designing for Montreal's Expo 67, Dallegret has designed a device that looks like a giant metal steeplechase hurdle, weighs half a ton, and is priced at $27,000. It consists of two slender beams of anodized aluminum, 30 ft. long by 2 ft. high, braced between uprights. A cool piece of pure structure, the object has all the contemplative imagery of an I beam, but it has an inner electronic life. The narrow six-inch gap between the aluminum beams...
...Army's Harry Diamond Laboratories in Washington, scientists are fast catching up with electronic technology. They have already produced fluidic oscillators, memory and logic circuits, and have devised fluid versions of resistors and capacitors. They have also learned to etch fluid channels into small blocks of metal and plastic, producing fluidic versions of electronic integrated circuits [TIME, Sept. 2]. Though they are still no match in size for the microscopically small electronic I.C.s, several compact fluidic circuits can now be interconnected and fitted into durable and compact inch-square wafers...
...about 560 m.p.h., Monster suddenly lurched to the right and went air borne, cartwheeling end over end, leaving twisted bits of metal strewn over a mile of salt. Helicopter Pilot Robert Hosking was the first on the scene. "I didn't think anybody could possibly be alive," Hosking said later. "But then I saw an arm move." Securely strapped into his fleece-lined welded-steel cockpit, which escaped serious damage (although the canopy was ripped off), Arfons was not only alive-except for some cuts and bruises, he was absolutely unhurt. Monster was a total write-off. Arfons...
...Julia moved into the pleasant, intellectual community of Cambridge, Mass., buying the house once owned by famed Harvard Philosopher Josiah Royce. One of their first improvements was to redo the kitchen to make it a cooking laboratory for Julia. Designed by Paul, whose paintings, wood carvings and metal engravings decorate the rest of the house, it is a gourmet's palace, with everything from a restaurant range and double electric ovens to walls hung with pots, each hook marked by a silhouette so that no pot or pan is ever out of place...
