...aimed at forestalling a disruptive disappearance of the nation's remaining silver coinage before it could be fully replaced by coins of copper and nickel. Silver speculators, however, took the curbs as a signal that by year's end, when the Treasury expects to have sufficient "clad" coins available, it will stop holding down the domestic price of silver by selling it for $1.29 per oz.

Scientists experiment with laser beams and gamma rays in basement rooms so jammed with costly equipment that it is difficult to walk about. Executives often labor in windowless cubbyholes.
