...track, with no waiting line, here fairgoers can wander among satellites (everything from TIROS to Telstar), see the Mercury capsule that took Scott Carpenter into orbit, the 90-ft.-high Titan II-Gemini rocket and spacecraft, as well as models of the butt end of the monster rocket Saturn V, its Apollo capsule, and Lem, the lunar excursion module that will land on the moon...
MODERN LIVING links the old and new in its report on the atrium house, which comes from a blueprint as old as the hills of Rome but is fast becoming the newest thing in town housing. ART touches on old v. new as it studies the argument whether Paris should or should not have its face washed, whether old buildings (or people) should look young, whether decades of dirt add character or merely hide style. The issue of old and new comes out in a hopeful way in THE HEMISPHERE story about a sensible move toward land reform-at long...

...LIFT ENGINES: In yet another approach to the problem, France's Dassault Mirage III-V will pack eight small Rolls-Royce jet engines thrusting downward. When well in the air, a larger jet will take over and push the plane forward at supersonic speed. Its designers admit that the vertical engines will be dead cargo most of the time, but they think vertical engines will have less effect on performance than dual-purpose engines that are too powerful for efficient horizontal flight. A German V/STOL, the Bölkow, Heinkel and Messerschmitt VJ-101C, varies the French formula slightly...
Rudi Gernreich was bored to tears with necklines. The V neck, the scoop neck, the boat neck, the turtle neck, the square neck, even the deep-cut plunge, all seemed drags. But the California designer is an all-action-no-talk man, and in no time at all he had pulled himself together and come up with a rather refreshing idea: drop a neckline low enough, say to the waist. Then it actually won't be a neckline at all, and no one will be even the least bit bored...
