...pump operates by electricity, uses a motor compressor and coils much like a refrigerator to keep the house at comfortable temperatures. In summer it draws the hot air out of the house through ducts, runs it over a refrigerated coil, circulates the cooled air back through the house. In winter, the pump draws in the cold outside air, picks up heat from it by passing it over an even colder coil; the heat is then transferred by fluid to a compressor, which raises the fluid to a high temperature, passes it to a second coil used to heat inside...
...Three. From the austere, stripped-down Studebaker Scotsman ($1,796) to the handsome, expensive (up to $12,000) Mercedes-Benz line that it distributes in the U.S., the cars show few mechanical or style changes. Most models are about 2 in. lower, offer a "luxury-level ride" incorporating variable coil springs that automatically adjust to road conditions. One new car: a Packard "Hawk" sports car to match Studeba-ker's Hawk series, with...
When Publisher William Randolph Hearst at 88 shuffled off his editorial coil, his most fabulous legacy was his California barony-on-the-Pacific (375 sq. mi. in its heyday) known as San Simeon. Through the 14 Hearst newspapers last week, W.R.H.'s sundry heirs and the Hearst Corp.-good taxpayers all-announced that the 120-acre heart of their splendiferous white elephant, worth some $50,000 a year to California in taxes, had been given to the State of California.

...found and expelled from the academy for drinking on the campus. Jocko's hands are clean because so many others' are dirty; nobody dares to talk for fear of expulsion. After that, the camera watches with morbid fascination as the event, like an evil serpent, tumbles out coil after coil of consequences that ultimately crush the villain. His final lagonies make quite a spectacle...
...mesons did no such thing. They shot out twice as many electrons in one direction. When a small current was passed through the coil the mesons turned around and shot their electrons in the other direction. This proved that mesons can be mirror twins (like right-hand and left-hand gloves) and still not behave in the same way. After the conclusive run of the experiment, says Dr. Lederman, "I called Lee on the telephone and told him, 'You're in!' " Parity was dead...
