...such rare-earth minerals as ytterbium, thulium and samarium-terbium. They found that when a strong enough magnetic field is applied, orthoferrites display an extraordinary property: tiny cylinder-shaped areas, or "bubbles," of magnetism are formed in the wafer, their polarity opposite to that of the surrounding material. Often smaller in diameter than a human hair, the magnetic bubbles can be maneuvered and positioned into an almost endless variety of patterns...
...entry, the Maverick, on sale last April (although the company labels it a 1970 car). Sales are already past 100,000, and the Maverick is breaking the records set by Mustang. With a wheelbase of 103 in., the six-cylinder Maverick is priced at $1,995. An even smaller car, named the Phoenix, is on Ford's drawing boards and could be introduced late next year...
These are the symptoms of the Continent's new outbreak of inflation. Prices in every major European country except Britain, and in most of the smaller ones, are climbing more rapidly than in 1968; in most countries the rise also exceeds the 1958-68 annual average. In its most recent assessment of the economic outlook, the Common Market commission called for "urgent" steps to bring the "unmistakable boom" under control...
Although the Administration's studies have yet to produce specific guidance for the next decade, Laird and others in the Administration believe that the American defense establishment of the future will be significantly smaller than it is today?and even somewhat below the pre-Viet Nam level as the war burden lessens. While the fiscal problem and Congress' attitude force Laird to cut more and earlier than he otherwise might, some of the reductions seem?despite his protests?to fit into his long-term intentions. In appearing to be dragged into making economies, of course, Laird also maintains his credentials...
Four years ago, a massive power failure plunged the Northeast into stygian blackness. Last month disaster loomed again when the million-kilowatt generator at Con Ed's Ravenswood plant short-circuited. Since two smaller generators were temporarily out of order, New York suffered a "brownout" that dimmed lights and made air conditioners wheeze. Last week Luce sighed with relief when "Big Allis" (named for the Allis-Chalmers generator) came back on the line. But relief can only be temporary for Con Ed. It must currently generate 7,350,000 kw. at peak load, and 10.9 million within a decade...
