...Product of 15 years research by Dr. John C. Krantz Jr., Johns Hopkins pharmacology professor, the fluorinated ether puts a patient to sleep in 27 seconds (a standard ether takes up to five minutes), has an agreeable odor and a high boiling point that should make it useful in warm climates. Biggest advantage: not readily combustible, it will reduce the danger of disastrous operating-room explosions...
...echoing voices crackle over the channels, and the lines of light rise and fall on the scopes, the men in the crowded trailer feel warm identification with the man in the air. They leave the ground when he does, hurtle through the sky in his ungentled airplane. Their hearts skip a beat when his does-and sometimes before. Their muscles tense with his.

But new cars were still selling briskly, and dealers' inventories (nine cars apiece) were not considered high. A bigger question was how fast consumers will continue to buy the mounting flood of 1953 models pouring out of the plants; production has now reached a record rate of 7,000,000 cars a year...
