...shape the character. In Hunger, nothing happens-and in that vacuum occurs the conflict between the writer's mind and the world's will. At first he is euphoric. But with steady rejection and growing poverty, he becomes like his pencil, inexorably worn away until only a stub remains. Though there is an abortive erotic interlude with a woman (Gunnel Lindblom), for the most part Oscarsson is left alone to disintegrate in the worn suit and the bare room that are the boundaries of his life. Within them he creates a solo performance of unbearable power. The shiny...
...being developed: Lockheed's CL 1026, a commercial version of the U.S. Army's rigid-rotor Cheyenne. A compound craft with a speed of 230 m.p.h. and range of 250 miles, the CL 1026 combines helicopter rotors for vertical landings and take-offs with fixed stub wings and propeller for level flight...

Fifty miles above the earth at more than 3,500 m.p.h., America's needle-nosed X-15 barely ruffles the underskirts of space. U.S. and Soviet astronauts have ventured far higher, faster and for longer flights. But for Air Force Major Michael J.

Repeated slippage of the Manned Orbit ing Laboratory program left him impatient to get off the ground, and he asked...
Resembling giant stub-winged dragonflies, OGOs circle in polar and equatorial orbits at altitudes of 170 to 90,000 miles. So far, they have logged 500,000 hours studying near-earth environment and the sun's effects on it. OGOs have recorded cosmic rays, studied very low-frequency noise in the ionosphere and fluctuations of the earth's magnetic field...
