...Warner Bros, animation unit -called with affection and realism "Termite Terrace"-the artists seemed to share the same zany verve that char acterized their creations. One of Jones' co-workers used a heating element and zinc-lined drawers to make his desk into a hot-dog stand, with steam rising from every aperture. Others rigged up an elaborate early-warning system, complete with flashing red lights, to enable everyone to assume a busy air before the visits of a producer whose spluttering lisp furnished the inspiration for Daffy Duck's voice ("Put in more jokes, fellowth...
...nationally ranked player at eleven. At 15 she went alone to a tournament in Char lotte, N.C., scored a stunning upset over Wimbledon Champ Margaret Court and burst into happy, astonished tears.

Independent experts are skeptical about these cost figures, but a garbage converter would be valuable even if it does not operate at a profit. San Diego County, which is weighing the pyrolysis experiment, presently produces 3,500 tons of garbage per day, spends $12 per ton to collect and haul it to the dump, and like most...
Last week, responding to complaints from employees, the U.S. State Department ordered its executives to stop treating secretaries as "char help," to show a little more diplomacy toward them and to encourage independent secretarial decision making. Officials warned especially against the "reliable-old-shoe syndrome," in which secretaries are assumed to be content with the same duties throughout their career while almost everyone else moves...
