...fast-skating third line collaborated for the second tally two minutes later. Ware took a pass from Jack Turco at full speed and rifled a flying forehand from the faceoff circle, off Cohen and into...
...recent teacher training conference, Mrs. Wood emphasized that dynamic reading is nothing like the skimming techniques commonly used in speed reading courses. She said, "Skipping words is dangerous, as you don't know whether or not you have skipped a word which could change the whole meaning of the sentence...
Freeway Shock Waves. In subsonic flights, an aircraft exerts a pressure disturbance that travels forward at the speed of sound, parting the air ahead so that it will flow relatively smoothly around the plane. Supersonic planes produce the same kind of pressure wave but actually outrace it, causing the air molecules to pile up. This effect, says Cahn, "produces a shock wave like cars slamming into each other on the freeway." To eliminate or reduce the booms caused by these shock waves, the Northrop scientists decided, SSTs would have to be provided with an artificial forward-moving "pressure wave" that...
...paper at the A.I.A.A. meeting: the creation of a sufficiently strong electrical field might require too much power to be economical. But he points out that there would be less drag or air friction on a charged SST, reducing the power necessary to fly it at a given speed and altitude. He suggests that only further tests with larger models and wind tunnels-now being considered by Northrop, Boeing and NASA-can determine if the system is practical...
Though free navigation courses are offered by the Coast Guard's Power Squadrons, Simonsen correctly guessed that many aspiring boatmen would prefer studying in their own homes, and at their own speed. To accommodate people who "want to buy a boat this winter and sail it to Hawaii next summer," he devised two simplified courses in celestial and coastwise navigation, both of which can be completed in as little as three months...
