...sure as Draper that full inertial guidance would prove accurate. Radio guidance systems were therefore developed simultaneously. They are very accurate, but they require elaborate ground equipment that is so expensive that separate guidance cannot be provided for each missile. This being the case, the missiles at a base cannot be fired in salvo. Each must wait its turn-and during the wait an enemy hit may wipe out the base itself. All future U.S. missiles will be inertially guided. Since they will be self-contained, an unlimited number of them can climb into space at the same instant, each...
...ounces of grey matter? 'Fill 'er up,' you will say, 'and give me the superpower antiknock Ethyl think juice, with vitamins added.' And sometimes you will drive off with a hole in your head, when the attendant forgets to replace the cap at the base of your skull." ¶M.I.T. President Julius Stratton, at Carleton College: "The impact of technology upon self-government is to subject the processes of democracy to a complete change of scale. In the massiveness of the effort, the influence of individual leadership is diffused and destroyed . . . Problems are of such...
...more than once a game on the average. Says Cleveland's Lane: "I still hate the s.o.b. when he gets up there at the plate. He could bunt .300, he has power to left and right, and he still has a good arm." Still a blur on the base paths despite his knee (he has stolen six bases in six tries this year), Mantle leads the majors in runs scored, with 51. Last week Mantle was red hot, led the Yanks to a four-game sweep of Chicago, their 13th victory in 15 games and a fight with Baltimore...
...industrial production, which had slipped slightly for three months, has turned up again, the Federal Reserve Board reported last week. Its index moved up one point in May, and now stands at no (on a 1957 base-of 100). The new figures were a firm show of strength by the U.S. economy, since the rise took place despite heavy cutbacks in steel production that dropped the index figures for iron and steel 25% below January. Steel's drop was more than offset by gains in almost every other category in the index, including durable goods, which have been lagging...
Dwight Eisenhower said his farewells briskly to the U.S. officials and foreign diplomats who clustered around the ramp at Maryland's Andrews Air Force Base. After 7½ years and 95,000 miles of presidential diplomacy, his leave-takings had become fairly routine. But this time the atmosphere crackled with a historic difference: the President of the U.S. was off on a two-week swing through the Far East with Japan a major stop, and howling, Red-led Japanese mobs were threatening bodily harm if he did not cancel his visit...
