Montero centered the ball through his fullback, but a shot by Hardy deflected it back to right wing. Then the unguarded Montero exploded a shot that hit the bottom of the crossbar and landed just inside the goal...
...workers, Communism has spawned a new privileged caste of party members and bureaucrats whose style of life includes villas, limousines, maids and even special shops in which they can buy scarce Western luxuries. In Russia to day, the worker and peasant are still where they always were: at the bottom. When it comes to the economy, the regime is desperately struggling to free itself from the uncompromising bonds of its own doctrine. In Communist theory, man's ego was to be directed toward communal and other selfless pursuits in the workers' state. But Russia's rulers have...
...lavish spender in private life, Peggy Lee hoards her musical resources, parceling them out with a parsimony that makes every jot count. Her sound, never big or brassy, is growing thin at the top and breathy at the bottom.

As she puts on weight, it becomes a little easier-but only a little-to believe that she is 47 and a grandmother. So she tones her act down to a quieter hush, focuses her emotions...
...Congress and the AEC approve, scientists will drill a 20-in. shaft 1,200 ft. down into the ore deposit. They will then lower a 20-kiloton device to the bottom, plug the shaft, and set off a nuclear blast. From experience with previous tests, the AEC knows that the explosion will create tremendous pressures that will literally push the rock away from the blast center, fracturing it in all directions. The result will be a cavity about 200 ft. in diameter; the surface of the earth will quake, but the AEC does not expect any radioactive debris...
...will drill three holes from the surface to the top of the "chimney" of fractured rock. Through these holes, sulfuric acid will be poured into the chimney, where it will dissolve copper out of the rock. The solution, containing copper sulfate, will then drain into holes drilled at the bottom of the chimney and be pumped up through a shaft to a precipitation plant at the surface. There the solution will be processed to extract metallic copper, and the recovered sulfuric acid recycled for another trip through the chimney...
