...striking, but it also represents another thing: that the Russians have expended precious technical thought on scientific educational equipment." The U.S. makes nothing like the classroom wave-motion machine, and an American-made projector that costs Harvard $300 serves the purpose no better than a Russian model that costs $24.50 (plus 40% duty) delivered in New York. Adds Dr. Albert Navez, whose high school program in Newton, Mass, last year turned out both winners of the Westinghouse Science Talent Search (TIME, March 17): "It's a little bit fantastic, after we've been told their equipment...
...girls kept at it doggedly, returned to Europe in 1957 to learn more. Slowly, they began to win events in minor meets. Penny got a job as an interpreter with an Austrian ski manufacturer; Betsy became a fashion model for a German sportswear shop. Penny, a husky, 140-lb. blonde, excels in the downhill; Betsy, whose brown hair is streaked with silver strands to accord with the current vogue for fashion models, is smaller and more nimble, does best in the slalom.

At Columbus' Children's Hospital, doctors found something worse: she had sickle-cell anemia. That was early in 1938. It was two years before she went home from the hospital...
...that dealers would add $1 billion to sales by marketing 200,000 to 400,000 more Ford cars in 1959 than in 1958. Ford's new Galaxie series is accounting for one-third of current sales, and the Ford division will increase its January production schedule of these models 15%. General Motors' Cadillac division reported that retail deliveries of Cadillacs in the first 20 days of December set a record. The Pontiac division has already produced 38% of its entire 1958 model year output (217,282 cars), still has 24,000 dealer orders to fill. Ford and Chevy...
