Last week Ryan Reporter, house organ of Ryan Aeronautical Co., reported a solution worked out by the Douglas Aircraft Co. for use on the new DC-8 Jetliner. Loose objects on the ground are not inhaled directly by the great flood of air passing through an engine, Douglas engineers found. Instead, a vortex like a small tornado forms below and just ahead of the engine's intake. If anything loose is within its reach, the vortex lifts it up like a house in a Kansas twister. Then the main air stream grabs it and hurls it into the engine...
Adzhubei's appointment is no nepotistic caper. At 34 he is one of Russia's most talented journalists; as editor, he pumped readability into Komsomolskaya Pravda, the Communist youth organ, by ordering firsthand factual reporting on the Russian scene, crusading against erring officials (e.g., a garage manager who had wrongly fired a worker).

All Bill Harrah's dealers, half of whom are women, are trained in his own school. None of them are allowed to smoke, drink or chew gum on duty; careful research has even chosen what Harrah considers...
...board should realize that they are doing exactly what Ulbricht and his henchmen are doing in the East Zone." Said Düsseldorf's Jewish Allgemeine Wochenzeitung last week: "We wonder how young German democracy will react to this attack against basic principles." Said Das Freie Wort, official organ of the generally conservative Free Democratic Party: "We are alarmed at this attempt to subjugate an independent news agency to party interests...
