Feinberg has long felt frustrated by Einstein's 1905 conclusion that velocities greater than the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) are absolutely im possible. Such speeds must be approached before man will ever be able to travel to distant stars, and Feinberg says that he does not "like the thought of being permanently confined by lim ited velocities to a small region around our solar system...
...taking amphetamines, started getting six or eight hours of sleep every day, worked out on a slant board and an exercise bicycle, and gradually built his weight back up to 175 lbs. He turned most of the day-to-day operation of his enterprises over to subordinates, and made travel plans-a tour of the Orient, a safari in Africa, Carnival in Rio, New Year's in Monaco...

This time he plans to do it right. Moving along the production line at McDonnell Douglas Corp. is a $5,000,000 "stretched" version of the DC-9, already painted black...
...effective horror Shurcliffe is able to create, the most important part of his book is its attack on the SSTs' ability to fulfill their main goal: moving people more rapidly. As a greater and greater percentage of travel time is used up by getting to and from the airport, Shurcliffe says that the difference that SSTs will make in transcontinental travel time will be worthless. Decreased reliability of the new planes may mean that more are held up at the airports; and probable limits on SST travel over major urban centers might make the SSTs as practical as Indianapolis racers...
...whose function was to encourage more members of minority groups to come to the School and so to enter the design profession. Scholarship funds in the amount of $25,000 were set aside to assist the effort. Other funds were provided to aid members of the faculty to travel to southern colleges, and to other places where their help had been requested with urban problems, where they might have a change to acquaint disadvantaged students with the nature, opportunities and challenges of the design profession...
