Jail Tents. Employees at the Stock Yard Inn, where many of the delegates will eat at least once, have been checked for security. (Three failed to meet specifications, but were fired for "incompetence" before the test was completed.) Secret Service agents will inspect all personnel and cargoes going into the stockyards. Other agents will be positioned to survey everyone arriving by public transport. Known militants and agitators will be shadowed as a matter of course...
...article had elected Lindsay mayor in 1965, and Lindsay had turned out to be an adequate square. He had no existential dimension. By then it was time to go to Convention Hall. So Mailer slipped his .38 caliber under his vest and went down town for the final existential test of wits with the Secret Service. If Mailer was successful, he will have altered the trajectory of history. The nation could be different, somehow, better, more alive, more in touch with its essence, free to choose its fate-if he punched Eric Sevareid in the nose...
Sterilization in All. To test their premise, the Czechs dripped solutions containing 1, 10 and 100 micrograms of DMF on three groups of ten male linden-bugs, then placed each group in a separate container with ten normal females. As the bugs mated, eggs laid by the females were carefully watched. None of those from females confined with males treated with 100 micrograms of DMF ever hatched. Few eggs from the 10-microgram group and only half from the 1-microgram group eventually hatched into larvae. Analysis of the females that had mated with the 100-microgram males proved that...

Last week the so-called air-cushion vehicle (ACV) got its biggest commercial test when a 165-ton SR.N4, the world's largest Hovercraft, was introduced on regularly scheduled passenger runs across the English Channel between Dover and the French coastal city of Boulogne. The thrice daily round-trip crossings, which will be expanded to six starting this week, are of crucial importance to the British Hovercraft Corp., which builds the SR.N4. "Our necks are on the chopping block," admits Richard Stanton-Jones, managing director. "Potential buyers will be here watching and riding...
