Standing in its path are miniature models of guided missiles or their components. By the time the wave of gas reaches them, it has expanded so much that its temperature has fallen to that of the stratosphere, about -68° F. But when it hits a model, friction heats the gas to 7,000° F., making it brightly luminous. The gas streams around the model like the glowing trail of a meteor. The flow lasts so short a time (1/1000th of a second) that the model is not damaged, but this brief period is long enough to permit...
Cornell's tunnel is an experimental model. A much larger one copied from it will be built at the Air Force's Arnold Engineering Development Center at Tullahoma, Tenn. Details of construction are secret, but the objective is not: to learn to make missiles behave like meteors, yet survive unmelted to complete their missions...
...several years as a coffee-and sugar-plantation owner in Brazil, Duttweiler was shocked to discover that a planter netted less for his efforts in raising coffee than the grocer who merely handed it over the counter. To remedy that, Duttweiler invested his savings of $25,000 in five model T Ford trucks and a stock of rice, flour, sugar and other staples, sent the trucks through the streets of Zurich as traveling Migros stores. Dutti's prices averaged 30% less than those of his competitors, and customers swarmed...

...Miss Fern Collier, 48, whose junior and senior classes in citizenship and the problems of democracy at Oklahoma City's John Marshall Junior-Senior High School are the very model of what the society-centered classroom should be. Instead of teaching history solely as a narrative series of events, Miss Collier likes to concentrate on such current problems as conservation. Once she set her class to reclaiming a 32-acre plot of land just outside of town, got botany students to study its plants, chemists to examine its soil, geology and art students to make up maps, agricultural students...
