...sense of personal failure without providing a remedy. Socialist theorists admit that real equality between men is unattainable ; their goal is to end those institutions and circumstances that artificially support inequality. In Britain's rich agglomerate of class barriers (some actual and some psychological), there is a payload to exploit. But the new policy might kick back in Labor's face by alienating middle-class and upper working class votes. where wage differentials are much prized...
...first-stage rocket, carrying stages 2 and 3 and the payload satellite, will be fired due east, to take advantage of the spin of the earth (1,340 ft. per second at the launching point. Cape Canaveral, Fla.). When it burns out and separates, 36 miles above the earth on a curving trajectory, the second stage will take over. After burning out in turn, it will coast upward, still attached to stage 3, to the 300-mile level. While it coasts, its mechanical brain will be reading its numerous instruments and telling little gas-jets how to turn...
Roman know-how, spreading to Cyprus in 58 B.C., managed to squeeze a rich payload out of Cyprian ore bodies for at least four centuries more, leaving behind slag heaps of exhausted ore that are still standing today. Then, for close to 1,500 years, the world forgot the copper that made Cyprus famous...
Actually, Patterson had spent five solid years making sure that a jet order was the right move. United's engineers have been running "paper-jet" flights across the U.S., figuring speed, payload, turn-around time, maintenance costs, etc., to give Patterson the information he needed. He chose Douglas' DC-8 over Boeing's 707 because he feels that it has more room for improvement, the same big stretch that permitted Douglas to beef up its DC-4 into the DC-6 and DC-7. Even so, the first models will have plenty of speed...
...SeaMaster. the first good-sized craft to test seagoing jet engines, is comparable in length and wing span to a big airliner. Its four Allison J71 turbojet engines with take-off afterburners can get it into the air with a 30,000-lb. payload and push it faster than 600 m.p.h. at 40,000-ft. altitude. These characteristics make it a medium bomber, although its Navy sponsors, for fear of antagonizing the Air Force's Strategic Air Command and the Navy's own airplane-carrier partisans, prefer to call it a "mine layer." Portable Base. If the SeaMaster...
