...been argued that the exam is an irreplaceable part of the lecture-and-syllabus system. Life itself, so the argument runs, is an endless succession of crises in which the educated man is called upon to marshal and organize his knowledge on short notice.

Still unspoken for are Fairey Aviation Co., Rotodyne aircraft developer; Handley Page, an R.A.F. jet bomber maker; and such firms as Hunting Aircraft, Short Bros. & Harland, and Westland Aircraft, Britain's leading helicopter maker. But with a dwindling market for military aircraft (less than 50% of industry sales last year v. 65% in 1956) plus U.S. dominance in long-range jetliners, amalgamation appears to be an economic must...
