...hold elections brought the United States to the verge of marine invasion. Port-au-Prince has since ceased to be a port of call for the dollar bearing Caribbean cruise ships. All but one of the six international airlines that serviced Haiti have suspended operations and, at that, Pan American's daily flight carries more people out than...
...Children's television at its best, Romper Room is an educational play session seen every weekday by more than 5,000,000 presumed corrigibles, who in their own living rooms participate in the activities on the screen, whether it means marching around in a circle banging spoons on pan bottoms or solemnly pledging allegiance to the flag and-as one mother reported-to "one naked individual with liberty and justice...
Honeywell's researchers have developed infra-red sensing tubes that can detect a frying pan's heat from five miles away - or spy out a distant rocket - and a humidity register so sensitive that it knows when a teaspoonful of water is brought into a room. It took a Honeywell gyroscope to measure the Empire State Building's maximum sway (onequarter inch) and bury forever the tourist canard that the world's tallest building rocks in a high wind. Eye examinations will eventually be more comfortable because of a Honeywell device that measures eyeball pressure with...

While U.S. airframe companies stalled, British Aircraft, which had the One-Eleven on its drawing boards, built in the features that American wanted-with no promise of an order. Just to please Customer Pan Am, Dassault willingly redesigned its Mystère 20* to make it larger and switched to General Electric turbofan jet engines. If such aggressiveness continues and U.S. framemakers offer no better fight, the U.S. could be toppled from the position of planemaker to the world, which it has held ever since...
