...working on an answer to high-flying atomic bombers ever since the first 6-52 designs took shape in the late '40s. The first Bomarc was flown in 1952, has since been perfected in dozens of tests against high-flying drones; the Air Force now calls its accuracy "superior." With B-52 production slowed down, at least temporarily, the new Bomarc should give Boeing a cushion against the trend to more missiles and fewer manned planes in the U.S. defense budget. Said Boeing President William McPherson Allen: "From now on, Bomarc will increasingly become one of our major concerns...
...form the great volcanic peaks of Kilimanjaro (elevation: 19,565 ft.), Mt. Kenya and the other volcanoes of the east. In its deepest clefts lie Africa's great lakes: Nyasa, Tanganyika and Lake Albert, with Lake Victoria, second in size only to North America's Lake Superior, on the high plateau near by.

Four eleventh graders were admitted this fall; and while this number may increase somewhat, the Committee feels it will be kept small both because of the small number of qualified high school juniors and a desire to preserve the traditionally large proportion of freshman who have completed twelfth grade...
Then the streams pass through the propeller, and since they are still converging, they combine into a well-defined jet that has a superior propulsive effect. A steel plate below the propeller keeps it from drawing water inefficiently from below. MacMillan says that his system has been tested on two Cargill towboats and that careful comparison with conventional equipment proves it 20% more efficient...
