With no liberal wing such as that in the Czechoslovak party to absorb and channel complaints, Gomulka's regime seems to be on a collision course with students and intellectuals. Gomulka's own powers within the government seem to be considerably less than absolute, as proved by the fact that his condemnation of the anti-Semitic campaign has failed to stop it-or even slow it down. At week's end Jews were baited, in effect, to join the campaign; they were asked to denounce what the government called an international "Zionist" propaganda effort against Poland. There...
...halftrack personnel carriers trun dling infantrymen rumbled across the Allenby and Damiya bridges onto Jordan's East Bank. A second task force punched across the border south of the Dead Sea. Israeli artillery laid down a barrage that walked just ahead of the advancing columns, and delta-wing jets blazoned with the Star of David criss crossed the skies. In the worst out break of hostilities in the Middle East since last June's Six-Day War, Israel last week launched a massive reprisal that raised the question of whether it may have got into the unhappy habit...
...modern citizens, the American Dream of the 1930s included not only a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage, but also an Autogiro in every backyard.

The dream may yet come true. California's McCulloch Aircraft Corp. has successfully test-flown a contemporary Autogiro that is safer than a conventional plane, less expensive than a helicopter, and just about...
From the moment it is in the air, the J-2 can be flown like a fixed-wing craft with a joy stick that controls the tilt of the rotor blades and pedals that move the rudders mounted on the rear of its twin booms. Lift is provided by the freewheeling rotor, which also acts as a gyroscope, tending to keep the J-2 extremely stable in flight. Unlike the helicopter, which is subject to constant torque from its powered rotor, the gyroplane experiences no twisting effect and needs no counteracting rotor and extra controls to provide stability...
Thus last week spoke Justice Hugo Lafayette Black, 82, long considered a leading member of the Supreme Court's activist wing. In a series of three lectures at Columbia University, he took the unusual step of publicly out lining his philosophy. Too often, he said, judges forget that they have taken "an oath to support the Constitution as it is, not as they think it should...
