...wished for a Cadillac convertible-and boingg-there it was on the beach. He thought "crazy," and wished for enough $100 bills to fill it. And shazam-it was filled. He started on a third wish-should it be women, fame? These he could buy. So he decided to save the third wish, and drove that Cad down the freeway. Feeling extra good, he started singing along with the radio, which just happened to be airing a commercial: "O, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener...
...city incinerators now destroy about 3,000,000 metric tons of other valuable metals a year; magnetic extractors could save the metal and reduce incineration by 10%. The packaging industry could do a profound service by switching to materials that rot-fast. The perfect container for mankind is the edible ice-cream cone. How about a beer container that is something like a pretzel? Or the soft-drink bottle that, when placed in the refrigerator, turns into a kind of tasty artificial ice? Soft drinks could also come in frozen form, as popsicles with edible sticks...
...careful review of the troubles that cropped up in flight, NASA has decided that it can probably correct them all and make Saturn 5 safe enough to carry a manned Apollo spacecraft into orbit this November or December. By eliminating another unmanned test of the huge rocket, NASA would save about $280 million and avoid further delays in its program to place U.S. astronauts on the moon...
Simple Ingenuity. Necessarily, the Islander is ingeniously simple in design. To save the cost and weight of a retraction system, the landing gear is fixed. To save cabin space, there is no aisle; passengers must climb into their seats through three fuselage doors. To offer performance comparable to STOL (short takeoff and landing) planes such as the $85,000 U.S.-made Helio Twin Courier, the Islander has outsized wings that permit takeoffs in a bare 520 ft., landings at 65 m.p.h. All in all, the Islander offers only one frill; though one big engine would theoretically offer reliability enough...
Leverett House obstetrician James Rivaldo stopped by and made one last desperate effort to save The Harvard Lampoon. He administered a cartoon featuring a gawky three-legged bird laboriously laying an Easter egg as large as itself. Out of the egg hatched a giraffe carrying a banner inscribed "Legalize Abortion." The Lampoon seemed instantly young and vital, and chuckles of observers could be heard in the Starr Book Shop. But suddenly The Harvard Lampoon convulsed into a ball, emitted a single gargantuan sob, and rolled, dead, into a wastepaper basket...
