...CONTENDER for $500 million supersonic fighter contract for 300 jets for West German air force is Lockheed's needle-nosed F-104 Starfighter, with Grumman's swept-wing Tiger and France's delta-wing Dassault Mirage close behind. Germans turned down Britain's experimental Saunders-Roe...
...books about Blake appear each season. Critically, none has bettered Albert Roe's profound study of the artist's illustrations for Dante, published in 1953 (Princeton University; $20). But the new Complete Writings of William Blake (Nonesuch Press-Random House; $12.50) fills a basic need.

...victims are males. The disease smolders indefinitely, but is marked by acute flare-ups with excruciating pain in swollen, inflamed joints.

At first, planemakers laid their plans around huge flying boats ideal for empire routes, where long runways and well-equipped airfields were few and far between, ordered four models, including a gigantic, ten-engined Saunders-Roe Princess flying boat at a cost of some $22 million. As it turned out, big airfields were built in virtually every corner of the world during World War II, thus making Great Britain's flying boats obsolete...
