...handsomely. The Orioles started the season by taking four straight from the Yanks and the Chicago White Sox. Two weeks ago, they swept three in a row from New York. Now it is July 4-and they are coasting along in first place, four games ahead of the pack. For a team that wound up seventh in 1962 and fourth last year, the Orioles seem too good to be true.

Then Dr. Seymour Schwartz of the University of Rochester reported that he had already implanted similar devices in two human patients. The major difference is that the Rochester pressure pacer uses no electrodes in the heart, but relies on its own battery pack, which can be recharged from outside the skin.

When well in the air, a larger jet will take over and push the plane forward at supersonic speed. Its designers admit that the vertical engines will be dead cargo most of the time, but they think vertical engines will have less effect on performance than dual-purpose engines that are too powerful for efficient horizontal flight. A German V/STOL, the Bölkow, Heinkel and Messerschmitt VJ-101C, varies the French formula slightly...
Ostensibly inspired by his own experiences with municipal corruption, Flicker soon wraps his hero in red tape and delivers him to a greedy pack of policemen, firemen, city inspectors and hotshot racketeers, all seeking payoffs. The cop is a half-witted movie monster, obviously put together by graft. The fireman is a Negro with an Irish brogue. Behind them all looms the Syndicate's Mr. Big, who may or may not be the local crime commissioner...
