...three British territories that make up the loosely knit Central African Federation, Southern Rhodesia comes closest to following the harsh segregationist ways of South Africa's apartheid. Negroes are barred from the Parliament, are excluded from most hotels, must use separate entrances to post offices and banks, are denied entrance to some shops, which serve them through hatches opening onto the sidewalk. By such measures. Southern Rhodesia's 211,000 whites have managed to keep a semblance of racial calm, but they have also alienated the blacks of Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesia from the whole idea of federation...
Another control problem is how to supply small bursts of power to alter the course of a rocket deep in space, to land it softly on the moon or swing it around Mars. Fuel systems now in use do not operate efficiently at low throttle, and once the fuel is turned off they cannot be re-ignited easily. Last week the Naval Ordnance Test Station at China Lake, Calif, unveiled a fuel system that could solve this problem. It uses hypergolic fuel, i.e., two fluids that ignite as soon as they come in contact. A feed mechanism (using...

Says he: "There is a more or less lost generation of young painters who turned up their noses at the basic disciplines of draftsmanship and just jumped into abstraction. Although they are now trying to use figures, they can't make the switch because they haven't had those early disciplines...

Unwritten Rule. Although most editors use wire-service stories of Sunday network TV shows, many are still sensitive about acknowledging that the news in their pages originated on TV. When the Fort Worth Star-Telegram printed its story on Mikoyan's TV interview, it omitted the name of the program on which he appeared, and that of the broadcasting company (NBC's Meet the Press). Editors are particularly pained at picking up news stories developed by local TV stations. In Chicago some rewritemen still invoke the old unwritten city-room rule to omit the names of the show...
