...month since a shotgun blast shattered his right arm, U.A.W. Chieftain Walter Reuther had been living in a quiet, antiseptic nightmare. In Detroit's new Grace Hospital he lay with the upper part of his body in a plaster cast, his bad arm held aloft by cords and pulleys. Occasionally he was given electric shocks to keep the arm from stiffening. He slept less than two hours in 24-his pain was continuous and doctors were afraid that sedatives might hamper his recovery...
...needed for the Kelley plan. It will be driven down to 3,400 ft., cutting straight through the old galleries where the best of the rich ore has been mined. To get out the low-grade ore, miners will work out from Kelley's shaft into abandoned levels, blast off huge blocks of ore-the first time for such a method at such depths. Oversize buckets and mine cars will haul out the ore for the smelters...

Two in the third--the result of John Caulfield's single which brought Myles Huntington and Cliff Crosby in--and one in the fifth (incurred when Chip Gannon ran all the way from second on a long Coulson blast to right field) looked like enough until the seventh inning.

Princeton proceeded to score three runs, but Roche remained in the lineup in the ninth just long enough to drive the clinching runs across...
Except for its small size, the Broomstick is not very different from larger gas turbines. A compressor at the front end drives air into a ring of seven combustion chambers, where it is heated by burning kerosene and kicked out at greatly increased speed. The blast of hot gases runs two turbines. The first turns the compressor, keeping the engine running. The second, spinning at 17,000-35,000 r.p.m., drives the transmission shaft that delivers the engine's power...
...enjoyed your blast against proctoring more than we who operate that benevolent system, for you emphasize what we've been trying to din into our erudite hatchet-men since the year John Harvard got his famous flunk in History...
