Dump No. 1 is the latest strike in the old Pierce Junction salt dome, where wells are pushing ever closer to Houston's city limits. For more than three decades prospectors in Pierce Junction made occasional strikes at conservative depths of 2,000 ft. to 5,000 ft.

...teacher loses all sense of contact with his pupils. "A point made in an open lecture can be repeated or developed by the lecturer. On the screen it is gone forever, if at that instant someone coughs, or 'the high dome re-echoes to his nose.' as Pope put it. Nor can the teacher judge how well or how ill he is being comprehended-he has perforce to aim at the lowest common denominator...
...eleven colors ranging from deep crimson and tangerine-orange to chartreuse and royal blue. For the strong vertical accent, almost a signature of Saarinen's work, he erected a gleaming, stainless-steel water tower rising 132 ft. from the lake, matched it with a 188-ft.-span dome of aluminum-covered steel for displaying new models under high-powered lights...
