...parachute is getting less and less popular as airplanes fly faster and higher. Pilots have landed alive (though in poor condition) after bailing out above the speed of sound (TIME, Nov. 21), but according to experts of the Office of Naval Research, no ejection-seat and parachute combination can save a pilot flying more than 1,900 m.p.h. at 70,000 ft. Less speed would be fatal at lower altitudes, because the thicker air would hit the pilot with a harder decelerating jolt...
...should like to correct the one vital error in your otherwise basically accurate account of last weekend's convention of the Young Democratic Clubs of Massachusetts. A platform which was strong in every respect save one was carried with virtual unanimity. The one exception was civil liberties, not civil rights, as stated in your lead...

Then eight cops armlocked the five out of the hall while Ted Heath's 18-piece British orchestra valiantly played America (also the tune of God Save the Queen) as order was restored. In jail the five men were joined by a sixth, found in a parked car outside the hall guarding two rifles, a blackjack and brass knuckles...
...diameter. It will have no fins, but will depend for steering on its movable rocket motor and an array of small gas-jets. The tanks holding the propellants (liquid oxygen and gasoline for the first stage, nitric acid and dimethyl-hydrazine for the second) will be thin-walled to save weight, and will have little strength when empty. When they are full and highly pressurized with helium, they will become as rigid as auto tires and strong enough to serve as the structure of the rocket, which will have no other outside skin. These "balloon tanks...
...Shell-less eggs,machine-sealed in tough, transparent polyethylene (produced by Sani-Shell Container Corp.). The eggs can be opened by pull tabs like those on cigarette packs, or they can be boiled right in their polyethylene shells. Scientists at Cornell University, who developed the idea, expect it to save farmers millions of dollars by making cracked eggs as salable as whole ones, and by eliminating breakage in shipment...
