Inside a Bowl. Because it would slope upward in a graduated bank from its inner edge to its raised outer edge-much like the inside of a shallow bowl -the circular runway would provide great directional stability to a plane landing at high speed. It would prevent the plane from veering out of control to the right or left. Pulled outward by centrifugal force and downward by gravity, a fast-rolling plane would be confined to a circular path high against the outer, steeply sloping part of the runway. As its speed decreased, centrifugal force would lessen, and gravity would...
Glimp attributed the jump from about 5200 applications mainly to a 40 per cent increase in the size of high school graduating classes. Applications will show only a gentle upward trend in the next few years, he predicted...

Johnson's economic advisers have been counting on such measures to hold the line for the next few months until the upward pressures on the economy can be relieved by growing plant and equipment expansion...
Having effectively sterilized Voyager, scientists will take no chances on the spacecraft's becoming recontaminated by stray microorganisms as it rockets upward through the earth's atmosphere. The spacecraft will still be in its sealed canister when it is mounted on its launching rocket and blasted aloft. Only when it reaches deep into sterile space will explosive bolts be fired to release the life-free Voyager from its protective envelope and allow it to proceed toward its rendezvous with Mars...
...dreams of James M. McGovern Jr. '64 point upward--perhaps to Congress, perhaps to statewide office. But the ladder of ascending political ambition is a steep one, and McGovern has resolved to climb every rung, not hop, skip, and jump with the danger of dropping painfully to the bottom. His race three weeks ago for the Cambridge City Council was a losing one because he wasn't elected. But the 22-year-old candidate did not expect to win, and the events of the campaign did nothing to discourage his dreams...
