...Adair's battle plan calls first for bulldozers to push several steel huts up close to the fire. From these, Gassi Touil roustabouts will spray water high into the air to form a cooling curtain for Adair and his men as they move in to attach hooks to the twisted remains of GT-2's rig and blown-out pipe, and winch the debris out of the way. Then a bulldozer will maneuver explosives on the end of a 200-ft. boom right up to the flames. If all goes right, the blast will snuff out the fire...
...faithfully translated and copiously annotated as they are, these letters explain everything about Beethoven except his music. "Beethoven's letters are full of sham rhetoric, so obviously sincere," writes Biographer Alan Pryce-Jones. "He never learned to use words, let alone spell them, and scarcely troubled to attach more than an oblique meaning to them . . . He ran no risk of disseminating his feelings in the ordinary intercourse of humanity." Even while Beethoven was composing his finest works-the last quartets-his letters were concerned only with servants, publishers and nephew. Whence came the soaring grandeur and philosophic calm that...
...idea for the interview originated with White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger, who suggested it to Russian press attachés.

...Puritans and Panglossians, McMahon dubs himself a "Modified Perfectibilitarian" who believes that U.S. consumer wants are far from sated-but that U.S. industry and Government have not paid sufficient attention to the shift in buying patterns away from durable goods. In McMahon's view, most economists still attach undue importance to the role of durables in the U.S. economy; the U.S. auto industry, for example, employs only 2% of the labor force, and consumer durables now take only 13½? of each consumer dollar...
Anytime you move a magnet in the close proximity of a coiled wire (or vice versa) you cause a current to flow through the coil. In the stereo cartridge we can either attach a magnet to the stylus arm and hold two coils stationary in the body of the device, or we can wind two coils onto the arm in different directions and mount a stationary magnet in the body. Either way (one is called "moving magnet", the other "moving coil" for obcious reasons), when the needle does its mazurka in the groove the stylus arms follows, and the groove...
