...combination of demands-mili tary and civilian-is pressuring a wide variety of industries. Makers of communications equipment and aircraft are being pushed to the limit. Orders for machine tools are backlogged up to 16 months. New England electronics manufacturers report delays of many weeks or months in deliveries of semiconductors, integrated circuits, capacitors and film resistors. Besides the scarcity of men and materials, manufacturers of all kinds complain of shortages of freight cars and ships to move goods...
...headed for Rowland. Goerner guesses that she soon got hopelessly lost in a tropical storm and turned the Electra north and west, away from her destination. By calculating the Electra's speed and fuel consumption, Goerner figures that the plane must have crash-landed near the beach of Mili atoll in the southeastern Marshall Islands. It was from that place, he says, that Earhart cranked out SOS messages on the plane's emergency radio. This, Goerner believes, accounts for the fact that a number of radio operators reported picking up messages from the downed plane at about this...
...Many Germanys? If De Gaulle is ever to achieve the Europe of his vision, he must surmount two tall hurdles: German reunification and the mili tary presence of both American and Russian troops. World War II's solution was to split Germany among the victors; yet Germany-West and East -has proved itself the strongest economic entity in Europe. East Germany provides fully one-fifth of Russian imports each year, while West Germany's gross national product is the free world's second highest (after the U.S.). Alone among World War II's victors in publicly...
Reassured by Robes. Film clips gave U.S. officials-both civilian and mili tary-a chance to state their side of the story. But loaded questions and slanted comment managed to convey the impression that the U.S. had not only bungled badly, but was operating according to some Machiavellian plan uncovered by intrepid reporting. Had the revolution been in danger of being taken over by Communists as President Johnson claimed? One CBS man had his doubts because he had seen "dozens of lawyers" among the rebels, "marching in their robes of office." Were U.S. troops neutral, as U.S. policy ordered? Film...
...bought in 1913 for only $350. Now valued at $250,000 by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, it is perhaps one more example of the public catching up with revolutionary art. But its technique of multiple exposures bridges the gap between Muybridge's galloping horses and Gjon Mili's stroboscopic studies of dancers. And even Du champ's greatest folly-dropping pieces of thread on the canvas and varnishing them where they fell-dramatized the importance that chance plays in painting, and seems an extraordinarily lucky hunch to a generation familiar with Jackson Pollock's drip...
