...Turkish armed forces are marching forward with giant steps on the road opened by Ataturk." General Gursel fetched seven professors from Istanbul to help draft a provisional constitution. One was Istanbul University President Siddik Sami Onar, who was badly beaten by Menderes' police when he protested their rough treatment of student demonstrators last month...
...earnest, reserved man tabbed by fellow-NATO commanders as a "good rough officer with a fine sense of humor," Gursel's rise through Turkey's army hierarchy was steady: graduating from Turkey's War College in 1929. he got his first star in 1946, his fourth in 1957.

...none of which would have been enough to wreck the planes by itself. The basic flaw was that the support structure of the wing nacelles, holding the plane's turbo prop engines, was not built sturdily enough. When damaged or weakened by such a common occurrence as a rough landing, the struts beneath the four engines no longer held the engine nacelle tightly enough in place. Said McBrearty: "All of our tests and calculations substantiate the conviction that some element of damage existed in the power-package-nacelle area of both Electras prior to their accidents." Even then...
