...there any prospect of a balanced budget in fiscal 1960, beginning a year from now? In reply to this press-conference question, the President said that he expected the deficit to "diminish" in 1960, but that it would take an "awful shrinkage" to bring $10 billion down to zero. In short...
Leaders & Laggards. The indexes use statistics from 21 different areas that cover the important segments of the nation's economy-production, employment, income, prices, etc. When all statistics are moving up, the diffusion indexes read 100. When all are moving down, the indexes are zero. If half are moving up and half down, the indexes are 50. When the indexes drop below 50, it means the economy is contracting; when they rise above 50, the economy is expanding. The basic 21 are broken down into three groups called 1) the Leading Series, 2) the Coincident Series...
...31st and last parabolic curve of the morning, Brett approached Veteran Stallings' record of 43 seconds: he maintained a state of negligible gravity for 40 seconds, of which I would testify that 27 seconds were true zero gravity. As closely as Brett and I could figure, we had floated virtually weightless for seven minutes and in true zero gravity for five. From our two-man, 2½-hour survey, we could obviously not make even tentative assumptions about possibly grave long-term effects (over days, weeks or months) of weightlessness on the human circulatory and respiratory systems. But these...
...sensation, I felt buoyant to the point of exaltation. And not necessarily because of the novelty alone. To Stallings, after 38 hours, zero gravity is old hat, yet he still feels exhilarated by it, aptly calls it "like swimming without getting wet." Airman Brett got no such emotional lift, only a solid, 4-g satisfaction from a job well done. It depends...
...short runway or no runway at all is to design it so it can stand on its tail like the Ryan Vertijet and zoom directly upward. The simple, brute-force way is to blast it into the air with rocket power. Last week the Air Force announced that the "zero-length" launch, done in the past with less advanced airplanes, has been accomplished with North American's supersonic F-100D fighter...
