...only one part of a subterranean complex under construction as Titan's first "hard base." Adjoining the missile tank are other sunken cylinders (see diagram), housing air-conditioning and hydraulic equipment, a power station, liquid oxygen and fuel tanks, and a command control center for the launch crew. Tunnels connect the widely dispersed elements, but after the alert, only the control center will be occupied. Remotely controlled, the monster, fueled and armed, will rise majestically to the surface as the massive doors open, go through a brief countdown as a radar-tracking dome some distance away rises from...
Such a drive for funds could aim either at permanently endowing lacrosse, or at providing only enough money to meet the expenses of the next spring season (about $5000). Some Harvard sports--for example, crew and fencing--are already heavily endowed and thus are not a serious financial burden on the University.

There, Olin Stephens tested various scale-model hull designs under all kinds of simulated speeds and heels. He went ahead to develop on the drawing board the graceful contour lines that turned out to be Columbia. (The British were testing, too-and in tanks patterned after those of the Stevens Institute...
...Lieut. Colonel G. W. Meates was attracted to the Darent River site by an old report that workmen digging postholes more than 200 years ago found a mosaic floor. Moving in with a crew of diggers, he quickly proved that the 18th century fence builders had really stumbled on something. Little by little he uncovered the lower parts of a magnificent villa that was probably inhabited for 300 years. Beside mosaic flooring, it had sculpture of imported Greek marble, a fine painting of water nymphs, and a heated bath...
