Except for the spots vacated by Ray and Louria, Jordan's lineup is fairly constant. This means Dave Coombs at 121, Dave Smith at 128, Roger Wach at 136, Bob Claflin at 175, and Howie Houston, unlimited. The 145-pound slot is also somewhat doubtful...
...consequences. For Communism, it was the greatest victory since the Russian Revolution. For most of the Chinese people, it meant peace-but only in the sense that large-scale fighting would stop. It also meant the kind of war which the Chinese have often known-the silent, constant war which tyrannic governments wage upon their people...

Winning this fight took 31 operations (mostly to clear up a bone infection of his right leg), years of constant pain, and a tough-minded courage that surprised his friends and impressed his physician...
...staff works under constant tension, not to get its facts right as on most other newspapers, but to be sure to toe the line. In its tortuous progress (sometimes with no advance notice from Moscow) many a staffer has been caught zigging when he should have been zagging.

...fourth corner post of physics, still unknown, Gamow says, will probably be an "elementary length" which will divide space into "smallest" units, just as Planck's Constant divided the flow of energy into "smallest" bursts (the "quantum" of the quantum theory). Gamow suspects that this missing length may turn out to be about 10 -13 centimeter (one ten-trillionth of a centimeter). A length close to this shows up as the radius of an electron, and as the effective range of forces in the atomic nuclei. "All kinds of physical considerations," says Gamow, "become senseless when...
