...checks will be run. Also, pure oxygen will not be used at 16 Ibs. per sq. in. during routine manned ground tests as it was that day: the higher pressure meant that the fire spread five times as fast as it would have in a normal atmosphere. A new quick-opening hatch is also being designed, and the surprising number of combustible items aboard-including the astronauts' own space suits and the craft's insulating foam-are being redesigned using materials that are more fire-resistant...
Even if its little car promises to start off with quick sales, Westinghouse admits that the Markette is at best a "transitional" car, not likely to replace internal-combustion engines in enough numbers to begin to solve the auto-caused air-pollution problem. As for its power source, it is only a little more advanced than the lead-acid electrics of the 1920s-or the golf carts Westinghouse already builds at its Marketeer Division plant in Redlands, Calif...

Critics in the press and Parliament alike were quick to remember that the same thing happened only three years ago, when Ferranti, Ltd., repaid $12 million after acknowledging an 82% profit manufacturing Bloodhound missiles.

The methods of action are all aimed at quick results or quick impact, such as the sit-in, the picket line, strike, march, vigil, teach-in or other forms of mass demonstration. The preparation of big programs, the conduct of prolonged negotiations, the organization of an extensive educational program, the establishment of an organization to exert constant pressure, are all avoided. The tactics can be described as "instantism." There is a chiliastic aspect--a dramatic action to be followed expectantly by dramatic reulsts. Here again there is a parallel to syndicalism and the I.W.W...
