...great race all right-for a scrap dealer. Otherwise, the 50th Indianapolis 500 was the most amateurish, confused and frustrating auto race in the history of the famed "Brickyard." Fully one-third of the 33-car field was wiped out on the very first turn; the yellow caution light was on for 41 minutes during the 31 hours; and only seven cars were still running at the finish. The winner of what was supposed to be the fastest race in history was less a hero than a survivor: British Grand
...equipment is working perfectly," said Dr. Kantrowitz, "and there is evidence that the heart has been helped enormously." Then he added, with due medical caution: "Our definition of success is when Mrs. Ceraso can go home again"-with the artificial half heart still in her chest, disconnected, but with a portable air pump for use as needed...

The Police Department, for instance, has a much more powerful voice on Capitol Hill than the D.C. Board...
Kapitsa behaved with the caution of a man who knew that he was being watched. He refused to clear up any of the mysteries of his past years, brushing off as "romantic" a reporter's question about his reaction to Stalin's stay order. He spoke guardedly about the Soviet space program, argued that the Soviets were still "a little ahead" of the U.S. At only one point did he unbend, offering his own formula for peace. It was, he said, "an international exchange of scientists from military institutions." "Then," added Kapitsa puckishly, "there would be no more...
