...Reactionaries. Leader of the reactionaries. Sergeant Pate developed the indictment. One wintry day when the temperature was 30° below zero. Sergeant Pate and five or six of his friends heard blows, body blows they thought, coming from one of the huts. "I saw Gallagher lifting a man off the floor roughly," said Pate. "He carried him to the wall near the corner. As far as I could see, he hung him in some way to a peg in the wall. His feet were about six inches off the floor. Then Gallagher stepped back and laughed. He reached...
ANTIBIOTICS INDUSTRY will get a long, hard look from the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC will investigate pricing policies in various drugs (profits vary from near zero to 400%), patents on drugs that the Government helped develop, and the decrease in competition...

It ruled that in the future all new plants seeking rapid tax amortization certificates would have to be located at least ten miles outside "Probable Ground Zero," i.e., defense industry and population centers. By that time, however, the Government had already granted fast tax write-offs for $20 billion in defense construction. Moreover, even the belated rule has largely been ignored. Only 546 projects, costing $3.9 billion, have met dispersal requirements. Meanwhile, the requirements themselves are outdated...

Initially we were rudely surprised by the Soviet MIG-15, which, at altitudes above 28,000 to 30,000 feet, had flying characteristics superior to our aircraft. But, like the Jap Zero of World War II, it was not a better fighting machine. The "kill" statistics, even if liberally discounted, were overwhelming in our favor. Greater pilot skill accounted for much of this but not all of it. We have other yardsticks. We,know, as General Alfred M. Gruenther, NATO's Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, has stated, that...
...with a Drawl. Even fueling the Skyrocket was an unearthly business. Men dressed in hoods with glass faceplates, plastic coveralls and heavy gloves worked more than three hours before dawn to do the job. Writes Bridgeman of the first time he saw it done: "The minus-297-degree-below-zero liquid oxygen was introduced into one of the large twin tanks that sit two inches apart from each other. If the liquid oxygen should be contaminated, it would blow the plane, trailer, crew and spectators off the desert floor . . . Once in the tank, the liquid oxygen boiled off continuously...
