...tired of trying to sell baby photographs in Los Angeles, he heard from Montana ranch buddies that you could get $10 just for falling off a horse. In those days they stretched ankle-high wires across fields to make sure that Indians and horses hit the proper patch of dust. Cooper survived, got a new first name (his own was Frank, but his pressagent was homesick for Gary, Ind.) and a feature part in Sam Goldwyn's The Winning of Barbara Worth. Paramount grabbed him from Goldwyn at $125 a week. Studio pressagents tagged...
Crimson trackmen captured the first three places in the hammer throw, shot put, and the mile, and swept the broad jump as they topped Dartmouth and left Brown in the dust last Saturday. The score at the end of the day was Harvard 87 3/10, Dartmouth 56 1/10, and Brown...
...theory that accounts for the formation of the universe and suggests that the moon may be at least 100 million years older than the earth. In the beginning, said Urey. the explosion of a supernova some 5 billion years ago splattered the space around it with cooling cosmic dust. As particles of matter caromed into each other and stuck, moon-sized bodies were formed. These, too, collided with each other and grew into planets. Somehow, the clump of material that men now know as the moon escaped collision and floated free, only to be captured ages later by the younger...

A pilot took off in the crate and landed it at Miami with an engine needlessly feathered and a cock-and-bull story that he had attacked the airfields. A reporter noted that dust and undisturbed grease covered bomb-bay fittings, electrical connections to rocket mounts were corroded, guns were uncocked and unfired. The planes that actually did the bombing never were seen...

Five big pilot desalting plants backed with federal money are now scheduled or already under construction. But the experts who came to the National Watershed Conference in dry-as-dust Tucson, Ariz., last week, knew better than to bother with such far-out schemes. Even the keynote speaker, Oklahoma Senator Robert Kerr, who mentioned grimly that U.S. cities now tolerate twice as much sewage in their drinking water as was considered safe in 1955, held out little hope that...
