Ambassador Lodge speaks a clear and muscular language that warms my heart every time he addresses the Russians. As one who has viewed all things Republican with a jaundiced eye, I think it is a great relief to hear him after listening to the usual toplofty, mush-mouthed types who use elliptical sentences that seem, lately, to be the voice of America...

Northeast Airlines Flight 258 left New York's La Guardia Airport at 10:30 p.m., its 31 passengers chafing at the two-hour delay already caused by lowering weather.

Inertial navigation systems are only as old as guided missiles, which brought to a head the brewing problem of modern aerial navigation: how to get a fix at great speed while all the usual sun and star angles are constantly changing. Solution: an instrument that records and remembers earth distance and direction traveled from a known starting point. One of the best systems was developed by North American Aviation, Inc. for the Navaho missile. The Navaho was scrapped, but last February the Navy ordered a Navaho guidance system installed in Nautilus. It was aboard the sub nine weeks later...
