...scrappy fighter who has wrapped his life as tightly around his city as any mayor in America, would agree. "For everything we've done," he says, "there are five things we haven't done, or five things we've failed at. If New Haven is a model city, then God help urban America...
...Navy version may cost as much as $10 million because of expensive weight-cutting programs and more complex missile systems. Despite the extra costs, the Air Force's F-111A currently is capable of making only a 100-mile low-level supersonic dash, and the Navy's model is still 7,000 Ibs. too heavy for optimum carrier use. The Air Force feels that it can live with the F-lllA's shorter dash range and is happy enough with it to have ordered production of 395 planes. But the Navy is not sure that it will...
Though it was conceived as the world's most sophisticated combat aircraft, the F-lll has flunked many of its courses-mostly in political science. Last week Congress gave the swing-wing fighter-bomber its worst report card yet. A House-Senate Conference Committee recommended that the Navy model, the F-111B, not go into production until the plane shows beyond doubt that it can operate efficiently from aircraft carriers...
...also become something less-and more-than either the Air Force or Navy wanted. As originally envisioned, the Air Force version would be capable of ducking under enemy radar and making a 400-mile supersonic dash just above the ground before hitting its target; the Navy model would be light enough to fly off carriers and provide air defense for the fleet. Because both services wanted a jet with sliding wings that would allow it to take off in short spaces, land slowly, sprint at Mach 2.5 or loiter for hours, McNamara's experts calculated that $1 billion could...
...favorite, though, and from the moment Architect Stanford White asked him to sculpt her as a fitting finial for the Garden (then under construction), she was a labor of love, his first nude, his first ideal figure. Saint-Gau dens chose an Irish girl named Nellie Fitzpatrick as his model, made a 6-foot-tall cement study, then scaled it up to an 18-foot statue. Much...
