...loss of offensive-dynamo Curry in the Bentley game crippled the Crimson attack, and this shortcoming may return to plague the cagers tomorrow night with Curry not playing at 100 per cent health...
Jones, who teaches "Psychology of Humor," "Black Lives," and the popular spring course, "Sport, Play and Society," is in the process of putting the final touches on an extensive sociological biography on Herron, a 5'5" dynamo running back who captured the fancy of New England Patriot football fans with a record-setting performance in 1974. 'Mini-Mac' eclipsed the all-time N.F.L. total offense record set by Gale Sayers with 2444 yards last year...
Cynicism about lunar-module-modernity has lapped the American shoreline since before Henry Adams, a century ago, bemoaned the coming of "dynamo" (materialism and industrialization) and the passing of the "Virgin" (the spiritual and aristic heritage of Western Europe). The weeping and wailing still continue as the Druids resurge. But if, as John Fowles would have it, cynicism is nothing more than a failure to cope, Adams' analysis fails. The very artists whom Adams would have expected to keep the icon hanging straight, are coping--by varnishing the Dynamo with super-realism. Warhol handles mass-production by redistributing the colors...
Singled Out. Rosenbaum, the key figure in the complex saga, founded I.C.B. in 1959. A short, bull-necked dynamo of a man, he is, says one Swiss banker, "the kind of guy who seemed to know everybody." His bank had the reputation of taking money from anyplace, paying richer-than-average returns and investing in risky high-yielding ventures. I.C.B. was singled out by LIFE in 1967 as one of the Swiss banks that accepted funds that the Mafia had skimmed from casinos in the U.S. and the Bahamas, then recycled into...
Last week Mariner established beyond doubt that Mercury's field was distinctly its own. Scientists believe that the earth's magnetism is generated by a dynamo-like motion within its liquid outer core caused by the earth's rotation. But whether Mercury also has a liquid core is a subject of debate. Even if it does the planet probably rotates too slowly (once every 58⅔ earth days) for the dynamo effect to occur. Thus, as Mariner fell silent in its eternal orbit of the sun, it left behind a major mystery: How did Mercury acquire...
