About 70% of the potential energy of alcohol can be used this way, Dr. Daniel suggests. "This would mean that five calories are liberated by the oxidation of one gram of pure ethyl alcohol in the body." But the findings were intended as no special endorsement of cocktails. There is more nutrition in a 5? candy bar than in a 50? Martini...
...conclusion: "If you were to take the sum total of all the authoritative articles ever written by the most qualified of psychologists and psychiatrists . . . if you were to take the whole of the meat and none of the parsley, and if you were to have these unadulterated bits of pure scientific knowledge concisely expressed by the most capable of living poets, you would have an awkward and incomplete summation of the Sermon on the Mount." Undoing the Damage. Along the way, Dr. Fisher learned the happy knack of combining psychiatric skill with commonsense, down-to-earth solutions. His attitude...
...Pratt & Whitney was developing the piston engine to its limits with its Wasp Major, now the most powerful piston engine ever built. It had also reached the end of an era. For the future does not lie with piston engines, but with jets-pure jets and jets driving propellers. Fred Rentschler is betting that his J57 will do for jets what the Wasp did for piston engines. Says he confidently: "Our job is not to catch the others, but to be first...
...Rolls-Royce, developed a much more powerful jet, the J-48. Boss Engineer Luke Hobbs was also blueprinting the designs for a different type. Last year his men finished the axial-flow T-34 Turbo-Wasp, an intermediate jet type which drives a propeller. Hobbs pushed on to the pure-jet J-57, last January had the first model in a test block. As its blast shook the concrete floor of the test cell, Jack Homer said: "Well, I think we have overshot the field." Solemnly, an old Pratt & Whitney hand interposed: "We may have trouble with the landing gear...
...million plant at Windsor Locks, Conn. Its postwar hydromatic propellers have made such advances in airline safety that they are now specified on 90% of all U.S. transports in service or on order. In the belief that turboprops will be used on commercial planes before pure-jets, Hamilton Standard is perfecting supersonic and dual-rotating propellers for use with them. With all this, United Aircraft, which has paid a dividend every year since 1935, last year chalked up $269 million in sales and a net of $13.2 million. In 1951's first quarter it earned about...
