Anne Sullivan, Rhode Island's greatest contribution since the Providence statehouse (the world's third largest unsupported marble dome), struck a blow for freshmen everywhere yesterday by running to a course-record-breaking first place finish in yesterday's Radcliffe cross-country meet against UMass and Brandeis. UMass pulled through, however, and won the meet...

...truth, the only synthesis in the film is between the ludicrous and the unintentionally comic. Locusts swarming over the Capitol dome, an Ethiopian church ceremony that looks like a Coptic version of Regine's, James Earl Jones brooding in locust headdress - the choice moments are many. The question raised by this fiasco is whether Burton is going to go down like John Barrymore, hamming his way through unworthy vehicles that feed off travesties of his talent...
...secret of the grill's success is its versatility: under its heat-distributing dome, a backyard chef can cook a suckling pig, bake bread and produce an entire dinner at the same time. Moreover, the grill turned out to be a penny-saving charcoal miser: closing the dampers extinguishes the fire, so that leftover charcoal can be reused. These virtues made Stephen's neighbors clamor for copies of his initial grill; after he had made a few of them, demand seemed so strong that in 1958 he left the sheet-metal company to found Weber-Stephen Products...
...women would be increasingly absorbed into teams, into bureaucracies. Lindbergh rode the Spirit of St. Louis on the updrafts of the future, but in many ways he was one of the last individualists. Even in the '20s, he represented a kind of nostalgia. In an era of Teapot Dome and bathtub gin, he seemed to Americans a cleaner, sharper version of themselves, as bright as a new silver dollar, still inventive and vigorous. If, as Historian Frederick Jackson Turner said, the U.S. ran out of frontier in 1890, Lindbergh opened a new frontier in the air - the U.S. arcing...
