...defensive line included Ulcickas and George Norman (Cornell) at ends, and Ab Lawrence (Yale) and Phil Ratner (Cornell) at tackle.

...today, "Snopes" is a derisive epithet for men ranging from leading demagogic politicians down to the Klansman next door. Snopeses pop up early in Yoknapatawpha County, but unlike most other Faulkner characters they seem to have no ancestors-at least not from Mississippi. Flem's father, the vicious Ab Snopes, wore neither blue uniform nor grey, but was a carrion crow on Civil War battlefields...
Iron 57 exists in both an "excited" (radioactive) and an "unexcited" state. It decays from one to the other with the emission of gamma rays. When an F 57 atom in the unexcited state ab sorbs a gamma ray, it too becomes excited, then decays to the unexcited state again a brief instant later. Westinghouse's physicists surrounded excited F 57 atoms with a blanket of the same atoms in the unexcited state and recorded their behavior. As the excited atoms began to decay at the normal rate, some of the gamma rays they emitted were absorbed by unexcited...

The next year 38 professors were giving 27 young ladies instruction, and in 1882 Radcliffe became an institution. The chaperone that was set up that year, a proviso that "no Harvard AB's ever be given to women," took 81 years to grow...
