...talk, talk, talk-that's all they seem to do. There are 250,000 of them in the U.S., and another estimated 100,000 elsewhere in the world, all of them chiefly bent on short-wave conversation about capacitors, resistors, transmitters, antennas, and occasionally, the weather and what is playing at the local movie house...
...ridge would have shifted gradually eastward, allowing warm, moist air to flow northwest from the Gulf of Mexico and bring normal rain to the high plains. But this year the high-pressure area stuck stubbornly over the Rockies during June and the first half of July. The dry, sunny weather that it brought dried out and heated the earth's surface, and hot air rising upward intensified the high-pressure area and its drought-producing effects. The moist winds from the Gulf were deflected to the Eastern seaboard...
Last week the pesky ridge finally moved westward toward the Pacific-at least temporarily-permitting moist air to reach the high plains and letting a little rain fall. The Weather Bureau's 30-day forecast, issued late last week, predicts that the ridge will move farther out into the Pacific, allowing more than normal rain to moisten the droughty area...
...necessary," said Arnold Palmer, 31, the 5-2 favorite to win the ancient, prestige-laden Open after losing it by a stroke in 1960, "I'm prepared to go around in a rowboat." That was not necessary-but the weather nearly cost Palmer the title. On the 510-yd. 16th hole in the second round, the blustery wind nudged the ball as he was about to swing, cost him a penalty stroke for hitting a moving ball. That left him a stroke behind diminutive, 5-ft. 5-in. Welshman Dai Rees and South African Harold Henning, with...
...such rough weather, with some airlines in trouble, the Civil Aeronautics Board has pursued a well-intentioned but debatable policy. To keep weaker lines from bankruptcy it has given them good routes in direct competition with the strong lines. With rare exceptions the added competition hurt the strong and weak lines alike. Classic example: hoping to help out much-troubled Northeast Airlines, the CAB permitted it to fly the blue-ribbon New York-Miami route in competition with vigorous Eastern and National. Result: not only has Northeast failed to make a profit, but the sharp competition has turned the other...
