...Simpler. Avco's Mark II generator has no moving parts; yet it generates 1,350 kilowatts of electric power. 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...
...common at $15 a share ($4 above the previous closing price). Pechiney is principally interested in Howe Sound's Quaker State Metals division, which can roll out 120 million Ibs. of aluminum sheet and strip a year, but is also eager to get control of Howe's copper and brass rolling mills, its precision casting facilities and its dental and surgical products division...

But Moise Tshombe was holding out as stubbornly as ever for his region's autonomy, and for the lion's share of the vast concession fees of Ka tanga's Belgian and British-controlled copper and cobalt riches. 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...
...painters who could turn out a portrait in less than an hour for the price of $2.92. The freshness of the art. in fact, stems largely from its variety and degrees of sophistication. A wooden Columbia, all star-spangled-bannered, is a wonderfully flamboyant bit of jingoism. A large copper...
There was humor, as in the brightly uniformed Captain Jinks, who once was in front of a cigar store. And there was a talent for caricature, as in the stubby statue of Henry Ward Beecher. A Carrousel Rooster scampers off to nowhere, each wooden feather in place. A copper lady of fashion, which once adorned a dressmaker's establishment, is a swirl of rhythm. Eagles, monkeys, cats, lions, woodchucks, hogs, pouter pigeons, turtles and horses make up a delightful menagerie that reported on the wind, beckoned to the thirsty, announced the presence of circuses, and symbolized the glory...
