...ducted 7-ft. fans that the X-22A uses as props are a futuristic blend of modern metallurgy and plastic engineering-fiber-glass blades with steel cores and nickel edges. The power behind those fans is a Rube Goldberg blend of engineering-four turbojet engines feeding a total of ten different gearboxes. The barrel-like ducts, along with their -big props, can be rotated by separate hydraulic motors. With the ducts horizontal and the props pointing forward, the X-22A should be capable of more than 300 m.p.h. in level flight; with ducts rotated to a vertical position, the ship...
...Manhattan for culinary cachet, perhaps no group of restaurants has created more interest than Restaurant Associates. Its 19 restaurants-from the tree-decked Four Seasons to the Lucullan Forum of the Twelve Caesars, from the Italianesque Mamma Leone's to the open-all-night Brasserie -are a successful blend of imaginative showmanship, lofty prices and aspiration to high cuisine.

Periodically, she issued books, all of them painstakingly analytical and exhaustingly long. The Second Sex, a dizzy blend of pedagogy, logic, emotion, prejudice and just plain talk about woman's discontented estate, became a classic. The Mandarins, her roman á clef of life with Sartre, Camus and their intellectual confraternity, was a bestseller on both sides of the ocean despite mixed reviews; one New York critic charged that "nothing...
