...Cats! Murders!" Guggenheim kept an eye on the business side, but had some editorial ideas too. They did not always agree with Alicia's. First year on the streets, the paper was in print with an open editorial split between the proprietors on presidential nominees. When Editor Alicia plugged for Franklin Roosevelt, her husband, a lifelong Republican, demanded and got space to air his own pro-Willkie views. Again in 1960, they went into print on facing pages to plug their different candidates-this time she was for Adlai Stevenson, he for Richard Nixon...
...companies from Mitsubishi to Matsu shita this year rushed out portable TV sets to compete with Sony's battery-powered, transistorized models, which come with 5-in. or 8-in. screens and weigh only 8 Ibs. General Electric also started thinking small, last month introduced an 11 -in. plug-in TV set listed at $99.95 - about half of what the portable Sony set discounts...

In a city with a 4-t01 Democratic registration advantage, luck did seem to play a part in McKeldin's victory. Goodman, a former state senator, had been accounted a pretty good mayor, who kept city hall...
...could deliver high power while using almost any fuel that will burn in a test tube-from kerosene to peanut oil. Its basic works are uncomplicated. It sucks air through an intake and compresses it in a chamber into which fuel is sprayed and ignited by a spark plug (see diagram). The expanding gases drive one turbine wheel that spins the air compressor and then rush on to whirl another turbine that drives a shaft. Turbines in their simplest form have major disadvantages, but where these are not of prime importance, they are already hard at work. They run standby...
