Professor Bridgman, the author of "The Logic of Modern Physics," was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1946 for his research in high pressure phenomena. Professor Stouffer has done extensive work in the methods of quantitative sociology for the government and the Army...

It ran ten minutes overtime, poked around too long backstage.

Said Wall Hatfield gruffly, "I'm not going to hurt you." But next day the wounded Hatfield died. His kinsmen turned on the hostages. The bodies of Tolbert, Phamer and young Randolph McCoy were found tied...
