Moreover, 50-50 is on the way out: "I could not say that 50-50 should be converted to 75-25, but this matter should be the object of serious studies by technicians." He will doubtless renew-with less disruptive speed-his own wars on slums, illiteracy, sickness, agricultural backwardness. In the U.N. and elsewhere, the U.S. can count Venezuela under Betancourt as a friend...

As the speed slowly diminished, the space sailer would spiral inward toward the sun, eventually returning to the earth's orbit...
...stations (Suitland, Md., New York City, Miami, San Juan, P.R., San Francisco, Honolulu and Anchorage, Alaska). Electronic instruments dangling under the balloons will report temperature and humidity at the various levels. As the balloons climb through the air layers, their motion will be tracked electronically, revealing the direction and speed of the high-altitude winds. At the National Weather Analysis Center at Suitland, the data will be digested, plotted on charts and sent by facsimile transmitters to airports across the country...

A jetliner that gets into its core may arrive at its destination hours ahead of schedule with its tanks still heavy with unburned fuel. But judging by the experience of Air Force pilots, whose jet bombers have been flying the unfamiliar highways of the upper air for years...
