...stop a car if a single set fails and anchorages for front-seat shoulder harnesses. Other improvements will come along later, based largely on the 26 safety features that manufacturers must build into cars that they sell to the Government. Because it takes Detroit a year or more to alter designs, some changes will not show up until the 1968 models. To demonstrate what can be done, New York State is spending $5 million to build and test a "safety car"; its designers are convinced that they can halve injuries caused by a forward crash at an impact speed...
...Same Intentions." All Thai bases from which American planes fly are under the legal control of Bangkok, which is more than a little sensitive to publicity about the increasing U.S. military presence in Thailand. But the sensitivity does not go so far as to alter the regime's basic resolve.

Hines's playing today, save for a heightened sense of surprise, is practically the same as it was when he came out of Pittsburgh as the most original jazz pianist around. His own father had played the cornet, and Earl adapted its lusty, brassy quality to the keyboard, learned to chop out big, gaudy chords in order to be heard through a blaring orchestra. The technique was further refined when he teamed with Louis Armstrong...
...confess to an ignorance of the play which the Loeb production did absolutely nothing to alter. Yet it is by all odds a harmless experience, and fortunately a short one. In fact the whole bill is short; an hour and three quarters or thereabouts. The Lesson serves satisfactorily as a curtain-raiser; the Breasts of Tiresias, if nothing else, brings the curtain down again...
