after failing to get help in turn from the Coast Guard, the sheriff, the county lifeguards, the Humane Society, the County Road Dept., the Air Pollution Board, the Parks & Recreation Dept., the Health Dept. and the Department of Sanitation, the caretaker of the Portuguese Bend Beach Club himself burned the 5-ft. 50-lb. dead seal that had been washed ashore...
Threat of Flood. The Hwachon dam, 275 ft. high and Korea's third largest, lies at the end of a spit of land shaped like a camel's head, between the western arm of the reservoir and a bend of the Pukhan River. U.S. officers knew that if the Chinese opened the dam's 18 sluice gates simultaneously, they would create a bothersome flood in the Pukhan valley; if they shattered the dam with explosives, a terrible wall of water, 50 to 60 ft. high, would plunge down the valley and cut the U.N. line...
...Scan" suggested last October that the whole campus needs a going over. Noting that the Smith student had to bend to a bevy of rules that were non-existant on other campuses, the paper said editorially, "But a close breakdown reveals that it is our campus which is archaic, not the rules which are simply an adjustment to this condition. For instance smoking rules (Smith girls cannot smoke in their rooms), the paper said, exists because the dormitories aren't fireproof.

In a pure corn-pone drawl, Vinegar explains his nickname: "Vinegar Bend, Mississippi [pop. about 75] is where ah gets mah mail.'' Signed as a barefoot prospect in nearby Leakesville, Miss. (pop. around 1,000) two years ago, Vinegar bounced up the Cardinal chain to Winston-Salem last year, where he won 17 games, struck out 227 batters in 207 innings. Cardinal Manager Marty Marion exults over his huge (6 ft. 3 in., 200 lbs.) pitcher: "He has the livest fast ball...
Titania's close resemblance to diamonds is due to its index of refraction, i.e., its ability to bend light rays. This property makes a stone glitter. Diamond's index of refraction is extremely high: 2.42. Titania's index is higher: 2.62 to 2.90. Even more important is its "dispersion," i.e., its ability to break white light into rainbow colors. Diamond disperses light twice as much as common glass does, but titania disperses it seven times as much. So far, titania cannot be made absolutely white (many valuable diamonds are not white, either), and it will never rival...
