...collected samples of a Japanese dwarf strain that had already been improved by a U.S. Agriculture Department scientist named Orville Vogel and crossed it with native Mexican wheat and other strains with desirable qualities. By growing them in both the hot, parched fields of northern Mexico and the higher, cooler regions near Mexico City, Borlaug eventually succeeded in producing a totally new strain. It was one that was hardy, resistant to toppling, and also well suited to Mexico's diverse climates and soils...
...Tempers are cooler now, though many of last Spring's fears still smolder," it continued, "The QHC wants to take advantage of the more rational atmosphere...
...flat crystals suspended in the liquid reflect light. Thus when the Kalliroscope is held in the palm of a hand, or under a bulb, or near any source of heat or cold, it produces a demonstration of convection currents appropriate for a Physics I classroom: warmer liquid rises while cooler liquid descends, forming currents that rearrange the light-reflecting crystals into ever-moving patterns. A mere change in position sets a small Kalliroscope (3 in. by 5 in., $15) in motion; larger models (5 in. by 7 in., $50) are electrically heated and kept in constant agitation...
...courted his daughter Eunice, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley has frustrated Shriver's political ambitions more than once. In 1968, Hubert Humphrey wanted Shriver for his running mate, but he dropped the idea when the Kennedy family proved unenthusiastic.

"Real revolution won't occur until poor whites as well as poor blacks realize they are oppressed," Bailey explains. Bailey's career is typical of the new opportunities opening for talented young blacks. Born in Harlem, he got scholarship funds to Pratt Institute. He appeared in the Whitney...
