...Chamberlain's 21. Two weeks ago, against the Boston Celtics, he hauled down 27 to Bill Russell's 14. Off the defensive boards, Unseld gloms onto the ball and rockets it to half court so quickly that the Bullets' chief offensive threat this season is their headstart fast break...
Shurcliff thinks the SST will be obsolete before it is built. The Concorde will be flying by 1971, probably four years before the SST, and its headstart may cut into the SST's market. (Three hundred of the 40 million dollar SST's must be sold to airlines before the project can pass the break-even point).

Former RCA President John Burns lost his job largely because of RCA's huge computer-development costs. Pioneer Remington-Rand, which was merged in 1955 into Sperry-Rand, failed to capitalize on its headstart, and its Univac division is still deeply in the red. In fact, besides IBM, the only company making money on computers is the smallest one-Minneapolis' Control Data (TIME. Nov. 24, 1961). Its formula: concentrating on only a few computers and aiming specifically for the scientific market...
