Harl Cook looks at life cheerfully. He is the son of George Cram "Jig" Cook, founder of the Provincetown Playhouse and inspirer of Eugene O'Neill when the playwright's work was first produced on the Cape in 1916. The elder Cook, writes O'Neill, was "always enthusiastic, vital, impatient with everything that smacked of falsity--he represented the spirit of revolt." Cook fils is also something of a rebel. When Cook pere died, a legacy to Harl provided for a Harvard education. About 1930, Harl came to Harvard--for three days--and then packed off with his inherited loot...

When the first bottle fires, the rocket reaches the speed of 1,900 m.p.h. in six seconds. The second bottle takes over at 40,000 ft. and boosts the speed to 3,800 m.p.h. Only the simplest...
...thus making more goods available, Bootstrap has tackled one approach to Puerto Rico's basic problem: overpopulation. More than 2,300,000 cram the island, 670 to the square mile. From the approach of providing work, Bootstrap has been barely a holding operation. It has created 33,000 industrial jobs, and perhaps even more resulting service jobs. But a runaway birth rate combined with a death rate lower than the mainland's-plus a parade of labor from the increasingly efficient farms-pours 20,000 workers a year into the market. In the short run, only by heavy...
