...Ever since that first phone call from Salesman Hoffman, Sinclair Weeks has been besieged by a steady stream of telephone calls, letters, telegrams and personal visits from auto salesmen eager to prove to him that salesmanship still flourishes. 'Here's one salesman who is rising from the dead . . .' was the way a California dealer began his telegram. At least two dozen salesmen, like Hoffman, used the telephone technique, and some have phoned several times to follow up their first sales efforts. Long-distance calls have come from such widely scattered points as Lubbock, Texas, Detroit, Minneapolis...
...first national picture magazine for a Catholic audience." This week Editor Edward Rice, 35, and a full-time staff, busy setting up copy for next month's issue, had reason to feel their optimism justified. With a press run of 38,000 and a steady stream of subscriptions, the magazine was on course. Its name: Jubilee, from the Latin of the Psalm, Jubilate Deo, omnis terra (Sing joyfully to God, all the earth...
Ships steaming across the North Atlantic from west to east like to keep in the Gulf Stream, which increases their speed by a knot or so at no cost. Pan American's Stratocruisers, flying from Tokyo to Honolulu, are taking the same advantage of the "jet stream," which is the Gulf Stream of the upper air. Last week one of Pan Am's clippers made the Tokyo-Honolulu run in a record 9 hr. 18 min. Its average, point-to-point speed was 422 rn.p.h., and 123 m.p.h. was a gift of the friendly jet stream...
...North Pacific jet stream was discovered during World War II. It is formed when a cold air mass from the Arctic or Siberia meets warm air from the south, and it often moves faster than 250 m.p.h. To Pan Am, it looked like a pot of gold. Pan Am's regular route from Tokyo to Honolulu required a fuel stop at Wake Island. The dog-legged course was 4,320 miles long and took more than 17 hours. With a boost from the jet stream, Pan Am reasoned, the hop might be made nonstop, saving 450 miles and covering...
Shaken Rope. The jet stream is not like a surface river, confined between solid banks. It whips around like a shaken rope, and to predict its position, speed and direction takes both knowledge and skill. Pan Am gathered all available data and added observations of its own. Last year, its meteorologists felt they knew enough to take the plunge. The Stratocruisers were regularly scheduled to fly nonstop from Tokyo. The first flight made Honolulu in 11½ hrs. instead...
