Headache & Bonanza. Wade's training shots of Thor, Atlas and second-generation missiles (perhaps the solid-fuel Minuteman) will soar over the vast National Pacific Missile Range, be scored for hits and misses by naval units reporting to nearby Point Mugu Naval-Air Missile Test Center. Already experienced at its work, the twelve-year-old Navy center has been scoring its own Sparrow and Bullpup guided missiles over a short ocean range, safely sent ship-based Regulus missiles over the mountains 500 miles inland to impact at Dugway Proving Grounds, Utah. Now enlarging to handle bigger missiles-perhaps...

Such work might well be less smoothly professional than Flower Drum Song, but it was more individualized. If it sagged, it would suddenly soar; if there was nothing notable for the nightingale, there was something delightful for the mockingbird.

...Allen did not say so, but his diagram points out clearly that a cone-shaped area over the magnetic poles is almost radiation-free. Obvious conclusion: the space ports of the future may have to be in far northern Canada or Antarctica, where men can soar into space through the escape zones over the magnetic poles, thus eluding the lethal hazards of the Van Allen belt...

Soprano Rysanek's warm, lambent voice was as beautiful as ever, but she displayed an alarming tendency to soar to high notes and then to wander around dazedly for several bars while she tried to come down again. Bjoerling's lyric tenor lacked the heroic style that the role of Radames demands, and Gobbi was far from his compelling best. Only Mezzo Simionato sang with the range, color and fire that her fans have come to expect of her. The voices of the supporting singers...
...like to induce the American male to take as intense an interest in his own clothes as he does in his wife's apparel. If the average U.S. man spent as much of his income on clothing today as he did in 1929, sales of textile products would soar by some $3 billion a year...
