...What bitter tea it is to read that "two-way radio" [Aug. 25] has been "lifted" from its "ham" stage, .to its role as "key instrument in a mushrooming minute-man-like communications network!" TIME must know that since the 1920s the ham operator has provided emergency communications worldwide; has served in disaster areas, has often been the only link to scientific expeditions; has been active in space communications; has provided trained electronics personnel in wartime; has invested millions of dollars in communications equipment capable of operation independently of commercial power sources. Perhaps better to say that two-way radio...
Papadopoulos' power comes chiefly from the support of a couple of hundred zealous junior army officers, who demand nothing less than total reform of Greek political life. They are already pressing Papadopoulos to move into the so-called "second stage" of the revolution, which calls for sacking the civilian Premier, Constantine Kollias, whom the junta reluctantly installed at the bidding of young King Constantine.

It is a non-piston gas engine consisting of a three-cornered rotor that swirls in a combustion chamber shaped like a fat-waisted figure eight. Doing away with the stop-and-start movements of the piston engine saves valuable power for a continuous circular movement. The RO 80 will feature two half-liter engines, placed side by side, yet even this will only take up half as much space as a conventional motor...
