...tenth-grade English class has just finished reading The Catcher in the Rye. We were neither impressed nor corrupted by the language in the book. Nor did we think it a "beautiful and moving" story. Repeating unpleasant language, which most of us have already heard somewhere, was not the point of studying this book. We read it because it is well written, and we learned a lot from discussing Holden Caulfield's problems...

Only five hotels (mostly of prewar vintage) are rated first-class, and their 760 rooms all have waiting lists. On their way to visit President Eisenhower in Washington last month, the King and Queen of Nepal had to put up in a third-class hotel.

Its big advantages are speed-some 40 m.p.h. faster than the 707 and the DC-8-and what promises to be impressive economy of operation. Powered by four commercial versions of the General Electric J-jg engine that pushes the Air Force 6-58 Hustler bomber to Mach 2 speeds, the 880 has so much power that even with a full passenger load it needs only 5,800 ft. of runway for take-off (v. 8,000 ft. for bigger jets...
