...orbit, for example, OGO-3 developed a control-mechanism failure and has since operated at only 75% efficiency. But overall, the OGOs have been a resounding success. By week's end, OGO-4 was performing without a sign of trouble. At TRW's Redondo Beach, Calif., plant, scientists and engineers are testing OGO-5 and building OGO-6, both of which will be sent up next year. The entire program will cost about $150 million-mere pennies, considering the dragonflies' scientific achievements...

During the war, the Munich plant produced airplane engines for the Junker bombers and for Hitler's jet fighter, the Messerschmitt ME 262.

In 1929, in Paris, he opened a plant named Danone for his son Daniel, and called its product "the Dessert of Happy Digestion." Success was modest until the mid-1950s, when Danone caught the public fancy. In 1958, in the Paris suburb of Plessis-Robinson, Danone opened the world's largest yogurt factory, where 350 workers are able to turn out 1,600,000 pots (211,000 quarts) of yogurt a day, seven times as much...
