...delta-winged, wasp-waisted Convair F106 interceptor, piloted by Major Joseph W. Rogers of Worthington, Ohio, took off from Edwards Air Force Base and climbed to 40,000 ft. (jets are slow at low altitude). Air conditions were ideal; the aircraft and its Pratt & Whitney J-75 engine were new but carefully chosen. In earlier tests, the engine had been revved up until its temperature reached the highest permissible level, and the fuel-input control was set at that point...
...104C did the work, but Captain Jordan contributed importantly by flying a perfect profile. At 39,800 ft. he kicked in his afterburner and accelerated to Mach 2.36, which is close to the F-104C's maximum permissible speed at that altitude. Then he nosed up at an ideal 47°. At 40,000 ft. he dumped his cabin pressure, and his pressure suit inflated. His afterburner went out at 75,000 ft. He shut off his air-starved engine at 95,000 ft. The ship coasted up without power and porpoised over at 103,395 ft., beating...

...Lousy, Huh?" After six years, Hollywood was beginning to pall in other ways, too. "The studios wanted to give me the Monroe-type sex buildup," she says. "I wanted to develop my acting, not my body." When TV Actor Richard Basehart recommended Anne to Producer Fred Coe as an ideal Gittel for Two for the Seesaw, Anne was only too anxious to try. She was going East for a sister's wedding anyway; she read the play and decided that she would impress Coe, not by acting, but by being Gittel. "I made sure he found me with...
...Mother and Child, Amen departs sharply from the traditional Madonna ideal. While the plump infant grasps for her breast, the mother appears gaunt; and the multitude of lines evoking the forms of her collar-bone, neck and face seem to suggest a network of veins to her breast. The hint of despair in her eye reinforces the impression that she is being sucked dry by her thoughtless, greedy child. In its bitter message, stated with subtlety and thoughtfulness, this work provides a revealing antithesis to the view of children implicit in Amen's prettified prints like To Wonder...
