...cutback will be in "Century Series" supersonic fighters, which currently comprise a big chunk of aircraft production. In the reduction, McDonnell Aircraft will probably make fewer F101 Voodoo fighters than it had hoped, is busy working on a family of supersecret missiles to take up the slack. Lockheed, too, may see some slowdown in orders for its sizzling (upwards of 1,300 m.p.h.) F-104 Starfighter. The Pentagon plans to close out several wings in the Air Defense Command and Tactical Air Command, some of which were to be equipped with F-104s. Yet Lockheed denies any cuts in planned...

He was saved from bleeding to death when a quick-thinking teacher made a tourniquet from a rag and a chunk of the fallen metal. Another youngster's abdomen was ripped open by a piece of flying metal. When the debris settled and the screams were stilled, three boys were dead or dying, 78 others hurt. Dead also: the airliner's four-man crew and Scorpion Pilot Owen.

Gaps and erasures in Bozzy's papers have been filled in by the remorselessly scholarly Yale editors, so that this volume contains many a fine but familiar chunk from the Life of Johnson. But outrageous Bozzy holds the stage today, possibly because he often seems in tune with psychoanalysis. Inspired by Jean Jacques Rousseau's dedicated frankness, Bozzy deemed it "fine to be sensible of all one's various sentiments and to analyze them."
