...will blast into space, and return, gliding through the atmosphere perhaps on red-hot wings to land at a chosen spaceport. At California's Edwards Air Force Base last week, a ponderous B-52 jet bomber lumbered down the runway, its engines spouting black smoke. From the rear it did not look right; it was lopsided, with a goodish-sized object hung unsymmetrically under its right wing. As the bomber broke ground, it listed slightly from the dragging weight...
...competitors to announce definite plans for a small car. Only the day before the Ford announcement, Chrysler President Lester ("Tex") Colbert revealed that Chrysler has already spent $40 million to develop a six-cylinder small car with a 105-110-in. wheelbase. With a slap at Chevy's rear-engine small car, Colbert said the engine in Chrysler's car will be in front, "where it belongs." But Colbert emphasized that Chrysler will not decide whether to produce its cars until "late summer," added that he would withhold public Announcement as long as possible to avoid hurting sales...
Front Runner Kennedy is also drawing inevitable potshots from the rear, and a position-taking U.S. Senator pushing such hot subjects as labor reform, immigration, minimum wages, and unemployment compensation makes a target of high visibility.

...story. That morning, A.T. & T. had sent a plane over the trouble spot, dropped a note on the Novorossisk's deck: YOU HAVE CUT THE CABLE FOUR TIMES: STOP FISHING HERE AND GO SOUTH. The trawler moved a few miles. Burke's Judge Advocate General, Rear Admiral Chester Ward, then made a precedent-setting proposal: Send a Navy party aboard the Russian ship. Lawyer Ward cited an international covenant, signed by Czarist Russia and specifically recognized by the Communists since 1926. The Convention for the Protection of Submarine Cables of 1884, he said, authorizes naval ships to examine...
...engineers. The trick was to do the job on a shoestring. The team found a way to revamp the dies from last year's models, use them to stamp the new car's sheet metal; all parts were bolted together instead of expensively welded; front and rear bumpers were made identical; the front sheet metal assembly was reduced to six pieces. In seven months the Lark was ready. Total development cost: less than $3,000,000, v. an estimated $150 million for the 1959 Ford...
