...quietly desperate that her early records would not be out of place at a funeral. More recently she has added some lighter material to create a semblance of variety, but the force of sadness in her personality is so compelling that even the wonderful and instructive lyrics of Copper Kettle somehow manage to portend a doom deeper than a jail sentence...
...businessmen: October's sales of 728,500 U.S.-made cars were the highest for any month in history (and more than 150,000 ahead of the previous high for an October, set in 1955).

Dr. Kantrowitz likes to say that his creation is just like an ordinary rotary generator, but simpler. In one sense he is correct: a conventional generator has electrical conductors (copper wires) that are spun in a magnetic field by a steam turbine. Their motion causes a current to flow through them. In an MHD generator the conductor is a hot gas (plasma) that has been ionized by having electrons knocked off some of its atoms. When the plasma squirts rapidly...

As U.S. Under Secretary of State George McGhee conferred patiently in Elisabethville, hoping to convince Tshombe that Katanga must return to the Congo fold, U.N. Acting Secretary-General U Thant published a U.N. report from Leopoldville which charged that Tshombe was beefing up his stout little army...
