...great days (Manhattan Transfer, U. S. A.)Author Dos Passos, whatever his prejudices, could be literarily convincing, but in this book little of that gift shows itself. As a writer who has come a long way, from left-wing radicalism to earnest antiCommunism, Dos Passos makes clear Ro Lancaster's political displacement but not his personal disintegration. Sketches of Washington days that were both bracing and silly, a caricature of a monumentally pompous pundit, are apt yet perfunctory. Fortunately, time has not weakened Author Dos Passes' power to describe places and incidents. The Great Days has fine sketches...
...wholly to development of facts, call on contesting lawyers only when the facts are in doubt. Says one lawyer: "This would cut down the time of airline hearings from three months to three days." Both the Hoover Commission and the American Bar Association want more drastic changes; they recommend transfer of the agencies' judicial functions to the courts. This would free the agencies to investigate and make decisions, leave the courts to enforce their decisions with injunctions or penalties...
...slows down. Physicist Neuringer's proposal is to create a strong magnetic field on the front surface of the re-entry body. When ionized air flows across it, the braking action of the magnetism will make it pile up in a deeper, slower moving layer that will not transfer as much heat to the solid surface...
Neuringer figures that a magnetic field of moderate strength (3,000 gauss) should reduce heat transfer by 28%. Greater reduction might be achieved by covering the nose of the re-entry body with a material that ionizes easily. Its ions, mixing with the air, would make it a strongly conducting plasma that would be slowed more effectively by magnetism...
Three Choices. United, which has until mid-1966 to submit a plan to the New Orleans Federal District Court and another four years to comply, has three choices. It can: 1) create a subsidiary, transfer assets to it, then distribute the stock to United stockholders; or 2) sell a partial interest in the subsidiary to a buyer willing to invest at least $1,000,000 and distribute the rest of the subsidiary to United stockholders; or 3) sell outright enough assets for a purchaser to import the required 9,000,000 stems a year. United may not hold an interest...
