Leading 39-35 with 15 minutes to play, Harvard took advantage of enemy mistakes and its own hot shooting to pull away from the Wildcats. The visitors took control of the boards at both ends and often found men alone underneath for easy layups, to build a 59-41 advantage with nine minutes...

Under the new method, which cost $2.8 million to research and perfect, machines bombard the molten glass with microscopic metallic particles as it passes across the tin bath. With an investment of only $36,000, glassmakers can add the tinting process to a regular plant, color...
