Harvard's other advantage is its course. The Dedham Country Club is short and easy, but half of its holes are tough for people who have never played them before. The second and eighteenth, for example, are at the top of high hills, and a man at the bottom can't judge the shape of the green...

A thermite bomb was exploded 160 ft. below the surface, at the bottom of a borehole at the south end of the seam. Running northward through the coal for 1,200 ft. were two parallel entries (tapped by additional boreholes every 300 ft.) through which air could be driven under pressure...
