...airplane flying through the core itself, says Mc-Gowan, "can experience loading conditions that exceed the design ultimate load factors," i.e., can be torn apart. Although no supersonic airliners are flying yet, McGowan looks forward to their take-off with some trepidation. Their wake will be strong enough to knock the wings off a good-sized commercial airliner...
...proprietors here," said Lou Gottlieb, Ph.D., last week to an audience at Manhattan's Basin Street East, "have asked that we knock some of the polish off our act. We have succeeded beyond all dreams."

Provirus & Gene. Yet Dr. Parry does not knock the virus theory.

But even then he was also painting Midwestern wheatland themes, and he soon changed his politics, his subject matter and his style of painting. Then came the Joe Jones of the more familiar style-the linear clarity that has something of a Japanese feeling to it. Jones...
...making way for a younger man who can give the CIA a thorough overhauling. But the Kennedy brothers are not angry with Allen Dulles. Indeed, as a man, Dulles emerged from the Cuba fiasco with high personal honors. Shortly before the invasion, he urged a bigger air strike to knock out Cuban planes on the ground before the invaders landed, but he was overruled at the insistence of Secretary of State Dean Rusk. When the invasion flopped, Dulles took full blame for the CIA's part in the failure, never mentioned that he had argued for a bigger...
