...there any need for America to undertake such exchanges alone. Recently the U.S. has been pressuring West Germany to improve its dismal relationships with Poland, and the Germans have indicated a willingness to do more than shake hands. If--as seems likely--the Poles overcome their insistence that the best thing the Germans could do (short of drying up) is recognize East Germany, there is no reason why a combined U.S. and German cultural exchange program wouldn't help renew Poland's ties with the West East Europe is in intellectual ferment, and Kennedy could make better use of America...
...Sway & Shake. Less than four years ago, when it was floated into position on the continental shelf some 80 miles southeast of Manhattan, TT4 was considered an engineering triumph. Its three 310-ft. stiltlike legs had been built and trussed together before being towed to sea. Anchoring them in mud and silt on the ocean floor had been a trying, ticklish business. But by December 1957, TT4 had its legs and its massive triangular platform in place. Powerful radars were installed, and eight officers and 65 enlisted men moved into its cramped quarters. Along with two other towers...
During 16-month tours of 45 days aboard and 15-day intervals ashore, TT-4's crews learned to live with its continual sway and shake-for the tower was designed to give with the stress of wind and wave. The men also learned to put up with the constant, ear-banging racket of water slapping against resounding steel plate, the whine of generators, the mournful complaint of one of the largest and loudest foghorns in the world.

Sometimes when Scriptwriter George Wells tries to write juve-in-the-groove talk, he betrays his age (51) with the sort of yacketa ("Gee, that's absolutely mystic!") that may make moviegoers under 20 smile and shake their heads sadly. But when he straightens up and writes right, he gets off some pretty cute lines. He (seductively): "Tuggle, are you a good girl?" She (anxiously): "T.V., I don't want to disillusion you." He (eagerly) : "I won't be disillusioned. Say anything!" She (reassured): "Yes. I am." He (stunned...
...produces a sharply defined beam. The surgeon removes a small portion of the bone behind the ear, acoustically irradiates the exposed canal with the gun's waves. Much as a soprano's high note can shatter a wineglass, the beams shot from the gun are supposed to shake the diseased cell structure and destroy it. In preliminary tests on a group of 22 sufferers treated with the ultrasonic waves, 15 were relieved of further at tacks of the disease, and four showed marked improvement. In some cases, patients have even been able to hear better after treatment...
