Chile's Linea Aérea Nacional, for example, is subsidized by the government, does a sedate business at I.A.T.A. rates by ap pealing to national pride. Others offer special services, such as the direct European flights of Panair do Brasil, Cubana Air lines and Colombia's 38-year-old Avianca...
Next year Bronx High will leave its dirty yellow brick pile (Former Principal Meister will move in with his newly founded Bronx Community College) and take over a lavish, $8,000,000 brain trainery, equipped with special labs for independent student research. Last week the joyous grind for next year's scholarships continued; Math Department Chairman Irving Dodes dismissed a class studying symbolic logic, said wearily and wonderingly: "I can't sit down without kids coming in, pestering me for advanced math books or trying to prove the impossible. It's a continual effort to keep...
...Heisenberg reportedly proposes to add a third unit of measure to both Planck's constant ("the quantum of action'') and the fixed velocity of light, which Einstein used in formulating his Special Theory of Relativity, the structure of space and time. Said Heisenberg: "There must be still a third such natural unit of measurement which is conceived in present-day atomic physics as a length of the atomic order of magnitude-for example, the size of the diameter of simple atomic nuclei. The goal of atomic theory would be reached if one succeeded in stating a mathematical...
Tapestry of Sound. Imbrie's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra shone in a galaxy of impressive premieres: Ernest Bloch's Quintet No. 2 for Piano and Strings, a vigorous, passionate work whose rich coloration took on a special sheen in the sonically clean, echoless hall; Darius Milhaud's Eighth Symphony, describing the flow of the Rhone to the sea, which happily combined the gusty exuberance of the Frenchman's early works with the sunny lyricism of his later ones; Roger Sessions' serene, atmospheric Quintet with Two Violas, performed without its third movement, which the composer...
...airlines entering the jet age, the No. I labor fight is over the third man in the cockpit in the new jetliners. Should he be a fully qualified pilot (making from $4,800 to $22,000 a year), like the two now in the cockpit, or a special mechanic-engineer (from $4,800 to $12,000) without pilot training? Last week, as a result of the fight, Western Air Lines was in its ninth week of strike, with all 83 flights grounded and corporate losses running to $35,000 daily. The threat of similar "third-man" strikes hangs ominously over...
