...Navy fears that the 35-ton F-111B consumes too much fuel and has insufficient range for "loitering" .(patrolling at slow speed to guard ships), suspects that it will prove too heavy and cumbersome for carrier use. Pentagon planners expect that new lift devices will partially offset the weight problem, also hope to improve the F-111B's engine and eliminate kinks in its special missile system. But the Navy has been unhappy with the program all along, makes no secret of its interest in a proposal to convert McDonnell Aircraft's F-4 fighter plane, a workhorse...

Mexico was able to convert its wheat deficit into a small surplus at least partly because the Rockefeller Foundation helped Mexican scientists to develop new high-yielding varieties, which are stubby enough not to topple over of their own weight (as native wheat did) when heavily fertilized. Transplanted, the Mexican wheat is now doubling yields in West Pakistan, undergoing tests in India. In 1962, the Ford and Rockefeller foundations jointly set up an International Rice Research Institute near Manila. Already, its 20 scientists-half Americans, half Asians-have crossbred...

The new eight-track cartridge (price: from $4.95 to $10.95) is about the size and weight of a paperback book, requires no threading or rewinding. The driver can easily slip it into the dashboard player without taking his eyes off the road; it plays through four speakers-usually mounted in the front and rear doors-without interference from bumpy roads, tunnels, bridges or commercials.
