Required Reading. So complete is Liu's talent for fading into the woodwork that no one is even sure how old he is; he was born, probably about 1898, in Yin-shan in rice-growing Hunan province, not far from Mao Tse-tung's own village. Liu and Mao, as sons of prosperous peasant families, attended middle school in Changsha, the largest city in the province, and a hotbed of radical nationalism.

Perhaps most important is the final masking of surgeons and nurses. Despite double-thickness or deflector masks (TIME, March 2), Dr. Adams insisted that the fitted filter mask is the only sure preventive of bacterial infection spreading from doctor to patient. The model he favors comprises two layers of copper wire cloth (mosquito screening) with a layer of Fiberglas (in the form of Filter-down) in between. This filter, developed for the Atomic Energy Commission, contains no holes more than half as big as staphylococci, thus blocks their passage completely. Since the mask is molded snugly to the face, many...

That car proved to Cole "that the rear engine provides better steering and handling on slippery roads.'' But it also showed him that a rear engine for a big car posed enormous problems...
...some fame of his own as the model for "Flip Corkin" in Milton Caniff's comic strip, Terry and the Pirates. On their first meeting, Cochran thought Wingate was an elaborate hoax, and was so baffled by his British public-school accent (Charterhouse) that he was sure Wingate suffered from an impediment in his speech. But at their second meeting, Cochran found "something very deep" about him and realized he "was beginning to assimilate some of the flame of this guy Wingate...
