Obviously, the boys at Indy think they're safe enough at any speed. The talk in the pits last week was of 200-m.p.h. laps in a year or two. And the sound of the future at Indy may well be the whine of a jet engine. Piloting a 1,200-h.p., turbine-powered Jack Adams Aircraft Special through practice runs, Veteran Indy Driver Bill Cheesbourg exulted: "I've driven this car down the straight at 200 m.p.h., and I was spinning the wheels...
...Canadian National's reckoning, on a downtown-to-downtown basis the turbotrains should approach the time-including traveling to and from airports-that the Montreal-Toronto trip takes by propjet Viscount. In fact, the ride will be somewhat similar: passengers will hear a faint engine whine, get free airline-style meals, sit in aluminum coaches slightly pressurized to keep out dust and dampen track noise. A pendular suspension system tilts the car inward on curves, thus eliminating the lurches of ordinary trains and enabling the train to hit 110 m.p.h. on existing tracks, and eventually 160 m.p.h. on improved...
...Denying that UFOs exist simply because they "elude technical explanation" is typical of what the American public is expected to accept on this subject. Methane is inflammable but not musical! If, indeed, these objects were such stuff, whence came the whine? Methane is also odorless, a blessed quality lacking in your story. TIME has been scooped by Frank Mannor and all the rest of us who have had a glimpse of the century's greatest mystery...

Its members are chroniclers of love affairs nixed, by parents ("My folks won't let me") and hexed by small allowances ("Think what your family would say to a poor boy like...
Carnovsky's strong definition of Lear's character quite naturally carries over into his directing. Each role is clearly outlined against the character of Lear. Within this fairly rigid framework some of the supporting players were outstanding. David Grimm's Fool didn't whine, mince his steps or sing in falsetto; in short he was masculine, a rarity in the role. Peter MacLean as Kent and Nicholas Kepros as Edgar had to sustain an air of good sense and authority through the play's anarchistic denouement. They did. The scenes during the storm when the disgusted Kent watches Lear...
