Cloak & Dagger. Clearly the boycott is hurting Kohler in some areas. As soon as the union hears from its agents inside the plant that Kohler has landed a large order, a U.A.W. stump man is sent to badger the prospective buyer. Last December Los Angeles' State Plumbing & Heating Co. ordered $100,000 worth of Kohler plumbing for an addition to the Los Angeles County General Hospital. Immediately, State's President E. J. Weinberger was solicited by the local plumbers' union to pressure Kohler to settle its differences. Fearful that his plumbers would slow down, Weinberger canceled...
...general shape of the TU-IO4 proves that it is a partial redesign of the twin-engined jet bomber that the West has dubbed the Badger. Like the Badger, its two engines are very large (estimated thrust: 20,000 Ibs. each). This is not necessarily a plus; Western designers, with that kind of horsepower available, like to split their power among four, six or eight engines to reduce frontal area per engine and spread thin potential troubles from engine failure...
Savage Indignation. In an age of savage politics, he was the most savage, in such withering satires as A Tale of a Tub and A Modest Proposal. When he fought, says Biographer Murry, "he bit like a badger till his teeth met." Men feared him, and three women loved him. Pride, it seems, forbade him to give them a man's love in return. With a lunatic idealism, he could not forgive them for having the natural functions common to all humans...
...case. Back from the war he finds the old England swept away: "All the initials have gone from inside the bowler hats." With mystic joy he accepts the unpaid, unwanted post of Co-Warden of the Badgeries, an ancient symbolic office whose sole relic is a stuffed badger. Hardly has his new identity begun to cover him when he is killed as he falls on a pike during a symbolic parade to the glory of symbolic England that was. Just as sad is the case of the man so sexually unidentified that he wrote "Church of England" against the word...
...Millikan, the first boss of modern Caltech, who discovered the cosmic ray and first measured the charge of the electron. Nobel Laureate Thomas Hunt Morgan unlocked the mysteries of the chromosome, and Richard Tolman helped prepare the way for the modern theory of chemical-reaction rates. Richard Badger's rule described the relationship between the vibration and size of two-atom molecules. Through his work on the red and yellow pigments of such plants as carrots and tomatoes, Laszlo Zechmeister has determined some of the molecular configurations that are effective precursors of vitamin...
