...weeks for their publications; in 1965, in the field of chemistry alone, those learned explorers are turning out-and publishing -6,700 articles every fortnight. Small wonder that the U.S. Printing Office is drawing up plans for a new building with 40 acres of working space-six acres bigger than the Pentagon; or that Yale, if it were to continue using its obsolescent card catalogue, would need eight acres of floor space by the year 2040 just for the cards alone. The books would be virtually unhousable...
...lithe, 180-lb. six-footer whose wrists are bigger (8 in. around) than Cassius Clay's, Aaron, 31, is a superb fielder, a dangerous base runner (19 stolen bases in 22 attempts) as well as a natural hitter who says, "I just grab a bat and look for the baseball.

Bigger Bites. There is, of course, another big side to the effects of welfare legislation. Higher social security payments mean bigger bites from both business and workers; the raises will cost corporations at least $2.5 billion more annually, and wage earners who make at least $550 monthly will face an annual...

Geologist Donnell (Princeton '32, Phi Beta Kappa) set about to increase the company's scope by stretching into the refining and marketing ends of the business and doubling exploration outlays. As bigger and more experienced oilmen looked on smugly, Donnell fell on his face. For a frustrating decade, Ohio drilled one dry hole after another from Guatemala to Egypt...
