...shaving cream-for the lowly peanut, soybean and sweet potato. In medicine, Dr. Daniel Hale Williams performed the first successful heart operation in 1893, while Dr. Charles Drew pioneered in new techniques to store blood plasma. Drew, ironically, bled to death after he was injured in a car crash-and was turned away by an all-white hospital...
Used to pacing production to months that had only four or five days off, industry has tended to adopt a new creak-and-crash cycle under the five-day week, holding to the old pace at the first part of a month, then trying desperately to catch up to quotas toward the end. Pravda cited a Tomsk factory that now turns out some 60 fans a day during the first week of the month, then heats up to 200 or more in the last - with a corresponding drop in quality. In the last-minute dither to meet quotas, workers...
...scene that is symbolic of new directions in modern dance, Astarte, the moon goddess, writhes in passionate triumph over the spent form of the mortal who seduced her. The action is bathed in lights and film images that glide, collide and dissolve in a psychedelic pattern to the crash of rock rhythms.

Second-acters sometimes turn avocations into vocations. In the 1929 crash, Songwriter Sam Coslow lost almost $150,000, vowed to master the stock market and get it back. He did, while publishing more than 500 songs (Cocktails for Two, Just One More Chance). When rock 'n' roll arrived, Coslow recoiled, switched from music to the market in 1961 at the age of 55. He now runs an investment service, edits the well-known market letter Indicator Digest, grosses $3,000,000 a year-plus $80,000 in song royalties. "The important thing," he says, "is to know...
