...Globe'schange has not, of course, occurred spontaneously. The principal engineer has been editor Tom Winship. Whipple, without a trace of simulated loyalty, calls him "the spark--the dynamo--that has really accomplished the change...
Research, in fact, has been the keystone of the company ever since 1847, when Werner Siemens founded a telegraphy workshop in Berlin. "The future of this factory," said Siemens, "depends upon its own inventions." Nineteen years later, he developed the modern electric dynamo; in 1928 the Siemens company built the first telex machine and still later, the first telex network...
Another misconception about what's amusing shows in the interpretation of Lysistrata. Marty Ritter plays a little dynamo instead of an elegant, slightly aloof character. So lines like, "there's something about women's temperaments that makes me hate them," come out as expostulations instead of slightly wistful asides.

Anthony to convey the real dream...
...tail on the night side (TIME, April 22, 1966), it produces friction on the outer boundary of the magnetic field. This friction generates a positive electrical charge on the morning side of the boundary, a negative charge on the opposite, or evening, side. The charge is supplemented by a dynamo effect caused by the rotation of the earth and its magnetic field...
That the building exists at all is no less a miracle than Watts's riotless history in the two intervening years. Perhaps even more of a miracle is Dr. Elsie Giorgi, the dark-haired, 56-year-old dynamo who conceived the center and fought it through-despite threats of violence-to fruition...
