Certainly, Stendahl had no intention of showing Julien exciting this mortal coil to the unconstrained accompaniment of a chorus of screeching voices, dominated by vibrating sopranos who soar higher and higher. Again, Stendahl had no intention of letting the weather conspire with the gods on the day of Julien's execution to show cloudiness and blue, the spacious firmament. Sorel strode to his death all right, but not to the majestic rumble of five symphonies' worth of kettle drums...

Among his early jobs: designing a special coil that made possible the first practical commercial auto radio. He learned to fly, and in 1930 opened an aviation-electronics business that turned out the first practical light-plane radio. After World War II, Lear burgeoned as the world's largest manufacturer of autopilots and a major supplier...
...fusion laboratories, and presumably the Russian ones too, are working on this idea. The practical difficulties are formidable. The heat must be carried away by refrigerating machinery as fast as it is formed. Neutrons will shower thickly through the coils as soon as a fusion reaction starts up inside. They will contribute more heat, and they may do worse. Neutrons often change a metal's structure in such a way that its electrical resistance increases. If this should happen suddenly to a hydrogen-cooled coil while a monstrous current is flowing through it, much of the apparatus...

Name: Jean. Weight...
...Sofa. The Simmons Co., biggest U.S. mattress maker, will bring out a line of upholstered furniture (sofas, love seats, lounge chairs) with a new device to guard against sag. Instead of woven jute-webbing supports for the furniture's coil springs, Simmons' pieces will have a steel-grid support suspended by rubber torsion springs. This will not only make furniture more comfortable but prevent sagging after long use, says Simmons. Sofa price range...
