...last week added still another jet fighter,-this one for the Navy. At Calverton, L.I., Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corp. lifted the security lid for a quick view of its F9F9 "Tiger." The plane looks as ferocious as its name. Designed for carrier operations, it has a short, solid snout, an undulating, "coke bottle" fuselage, and drooping, knife-thin wings. For armament, it will carry air-to-air rockets, possibly Sperry Gyroscope Co.'s new Sparrow missile, now in mass production. Top speed: top secret, but the plane weighs less than 20,000 Ibs. and packs a burly...
...night in the direction of the Jordan border. Soon the men came back with a prisoner. He was an Arab of medium height, and he tried to make himself smaller by pressing his hands against his belly. The Israelis searched him roughly, and one of them thrust the snout of a Tommy gun into his stomach. He made a noise like a wounded animal. Then Tryfus tried to thrust the land mine into the prisoner's hands. The Arab shrank back, and Tryfus laughed grimly. "He knows nothing," mimicked one of the policemen.

...next day's sun rose on a miserable little newcomer to the animal kingdom. Baby Bandoola's trunk was a stunted snout that he could barely move, his forehead and back were matted with long wavy hair, and his skin was a loud purple.

Clawed and trumpeting, his auntie bolted, but his torn and bleeding mother sheltered him like a slab of concrete till the "oozies" came...
...Martin from Britain, a snappy little Porsche from Germany, a Cométe and a Simca from France. The three U.S. models: a 1953 Studebaker, a Nash-Healey (standard Nash engine, with British chassis and Italian coachwork), and a big, hand-built Cunningham convertible with a long, oval-grilled snout and a racer's body. (Engine: Chrysler V8. Speed: up to 130 m.p.h. Price: $10,000.) As usual, the foreign cars had little chrome, rocket-smooth lines, little room or comfort for passengers. That, believes Curator Drexler, is all to the good: U.S. motorists are too pampered...
Save for the fact that his "little mouth protruded like a snout," that his jaw was chinless and that he had almost no neck, Garry Templemore was a fine baby. With proper feeding and education he might have overcome the handicap of having four hands and become, like his father Douglas Templemore, a British newspaperman. But the world was not destined to know. Garry was a mere 24 hours old when his father gave him a lethal shot of strychnine...
