Shops and bazaars are jammed with Chinese women in high-collared silk dresses, Malay women in brightly colored sarongs, Indian women in saris.

Inflation keeps pace with prosperity: already a can of Canadian salmon, a relatively expensive dish to begin with, is appreciably cheaper than fish caught along Singapore's own waterfront...

Keeping an eye on the stars for navigation purposes is an old Navy custom. Last week the Navy announced that it has nearly completed a radio telescope to watch stars in another way. The reflector, an aluminum "dish" 50 feet in diameter and weighing 14 tons, is supported by a mounting made for a 5-in. gun. It will watch the sky from the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington...
...Balance Wheel refers to a heavy-witted Pennsylvania Dutchman who is no more the hero of a novel than the dumpling in a dish of Sauerbraten. He just happens to sit in the middle of the concoction.

...magazine, R. Hanbury Brown and C. Hazard of Britain's University of Manchester announced that they had detected radio stars in M. 31, the great spiral nebula in Andromeda, 750,000 light-years from the earth. They did the job with the largest radio telescope (a trellis-like "dish" of wires) at Jodrell Bank Experimental Station south of Manchester. Normally this telescope points upward, receiving radio waves from a narrow "beam" directly overhead. If the mast at the center is swung 14° to one side, the telescope points, in effect, toward the Andromeda nebula...
