...Donald Adams sense. The opening scene in an Automat seems wholely unnecessary, if not downright impossible because Tillich introduces you to strangers whom, it later develops, Louis knows very well--and so it could hardly be the morning-after reminiscence. And a few annoying lapses into nicely written stream-of-consciousness, or whatever they're calling it these days, gives Louis credit for an imagination he doesn't have. And in relating a macabre story of a friend, Vera, the girl, says "he grinned and wandered off," which is one grin we doubt ever got grinned, as they...
...repay kindness." Recitation over, employees break into a martial company song, The Song of National, that urges them: "For the building of the new Japan, unite your hearts, unite your efforts. Give your all. Let us send our products to the people of the world in an unending stream." Employees then tree off to their work benches, but the uplift does not end there. In their monthly pay envelopes are pictures of Founder Matsushita beaming broadly over additional mottoes such as: "Be frugal; save...
...Washing Machine. In undeveloped nations, washday means a trek to the nearest stream, where clothes are beaten or scrubbed by hand. To improve on this, the International Cooperation Administration demonstrated a wooden, hand-operated washing machine simple enough to be built by semiskilled workers for $3 on a quantity basis. The washer holds the clothes in a rectangular tub while two plungers, attached to a crossbeam that is operated by hand, force water back and forth through them. ICA plans to send models to its missions around the world...
...whole year's hangovers. The cavernous chambers were abustle with well-stacked nautch girls, brushing bare bellies with Indian waiters serving cha-patties. The only washroom was carefully labeled "Co-educational-On Your Honor Please!" Behind the bar a lily-twined manneken-pis arched a thoughtful stream at a stone death's head that looked like many a guest would feel on the morning after. There were two dozen freshly made beds spotted strategically for the incapable or the incautious...
...engine efficiency too much. Last week Boeing announced that it had licked the problem. It said that its suppressor had cut jet noise below the level promised purchasers of the 707, making it slightly less noisy than a Super Constellation. The trick was done by breaking up the jet stream and funneling it through 21 narrow after tubes instead of one big tube. "The big, doughnut-shaped exhaust roar," said a Boeing engineer, "was broken down into 21 smaller, bagel-sized noises." The loss in efficiency: only 2% loss in thrust (v. up to 20% in earlier supressor devices), plus...
