...would take eleven tie games followed by a 21-0 defeat to wipe out his winnings. His income-tax bracket is so high that if he were defeated in a game that cost him, say, $20,000, he would actually be out of pocket only $2,200 (see chart). Of the $122,000 he has won, income taxes will let the unmarried, $4,400-a-year instructor keep perhaps as little...
Though his trip was brief (his plane, Columbine III, made only seven stops) and frequently monopolized by chart-bearing experts, Ike came face to face with the unmistakable signs of disaster: careworn and worried farm men and women; parched, dried water holes; abandoned farm homesteads, their doors swinging open in the wind; thin, underfed cattle munching on de-spined prickly-pear cactus. As he went from farm to farm, Ike touched the weak, thin dust, crackled the dry tumbleweed between his fingers, examined with a knowing farmer's hands the bony backs and dull coats of underfed steers...
...about two experiments proving that the "parity law," one of the cornerstones of nuclear physics, is a man-made convention which does not bind nature except in special cases. According to the parity law, objects that are mirror images of each other must obey the same physical rules (see chart). Applied to nuclear physics about 30 years ago, this principle became extremely important. Theories that seemed to violate it were summarily rejected. Much of the structure of modern nuclear physics was erected on parity...
...being installed to speed reservations and ticket sales. Each of 16 Pennsylvania Railroad ticket counters will have a 14-in. TV receiver with a dialing system. When a customer asks for reservations, the ticket clerk dials a code number that indicates his route, and the TV screen pictures a chart showing space available for up to 16 weeks ahead. Dialing another number then brings on a reservations clerk, who puts the requested tickets in an Intrafax machine that reproduces them on a printer at the counter...
...them with two more tractable executives. Director Joseph Atkinson Jr., the late publisher's son, and Hindmarsh's wife, the fifth director, voted with him, and within 48hours the competing evening Telegram broke the first story that the Star was on the block. But the effort to chart the Star's course was more of a strain than even tough Harry Hindmarsh realized. The same day he suffered a heart attack, died within three hours. The Star, which at Hindmarsh's insistence ran no story on the impending sale, carried instead the obituary that ailing Editor...
