...lapels-his customary way of speaking when he is serious-Khrushchev began: "I liked the last statement of Eisenhower at his press conference-not all of it, I must tell the truth: there were right things and wrong things. In any case, what he said was a fresh stream of ozone...
...Fast Stream. One of the disadvantages of the conventional turbojet engine is its lack of propulsive efficiency. The stream of hot gas from its tailpipe speeds backward much faster than the airplane is flying forward. Much of its energy is wasted in creating air turbulence. The efficiency would be greater if the speed of the gas stream were only moderately greater than the speed of the airplane. But conventional jet engines cannot slow their gas stream without losing efficiency in other ways...
...compressed passes through the combustion chambers to form the high-speed jet. In the bypass engine, part of the air from the forward compressor flows around the combustion chambers (incidentally cooling trie engine's skin) and mixes with the speeding gas in the tailpipe. It cools the stream and slows it, but adds greatly to its mass. The net result is a large, comparatively slow stream that does not waste a large amount of energy by outspeeding its airplane...
...works 12 to 18 hours a day, usually lunches on a sandwich at his desk, a 12-ft.-long kidney-shaped masterpiece that he designed himself. While reading or talking, Reuther scribbles incessantly in notebooks, jotting down his jet-stream of ideas (even in bed, at night, when he thinks of something, he gets up to make a note of it). The U.A.W.'s top officials have all picked up the habit; when called, they pick up their notebooks and gather around Reuther's kidney-shaped command post. If they argue too long, he snaps: "I think...
...bodyguard follows him everywhere, and Detroit newspapers never mention his present address. Last September Reuther moved to a converted summer cottage on a trout stream near Detroit, where he lives with his wife, daughters Linda Ann, 12, and Elisabeth Luise, 7, two lambs, two kittens, one horse, one German shepherd, one cocker spaniel, one sheep, one parakeet and one goldfish...
