Steel was the key indicator, and its upward climb promised a renewal of public jousting over prices between the Administration and industry in general. Since January, steelmen have been boosting prices in bits and pieces-in tubing, then tin plate for can making, followed by hot-rolled carbon and alloy plates-with only a whimper from Washington. Not until just before the Labor Day weekend, when Republic Steel dropped word of new prices in steel bars, did the Administration react.

...twelve eager mountaineers who struck out last month to climb Mount McKinley, North America's highest peak, the adventure did not seem too formidable. Since the first assault on McKinley in 1903, only four climbers had died on its slopes, while more than 100 people have attained the summit.

Before climbing back to the surface, these cars will be able to choose between heading left on Cambridge St. or right on Broadway...

Twenty seconds later, after electronic analysis of courses, speeds and altitudes, the sensor-computers would signal the best possible collision-avoidance maneuver each pilot should execute, such as "stop turn" or "stop climb...
