"Athletic integration," not academic, proved the keynote of the "Togetherness Cup" contest...

Equally important, Kaiser's Volta plan would slash power costs-now 23 mills per kw-h in Ghana-to 2 or 2½ mills for aluminum processors, 6 or 7 mills for others. Such a price is reasonable enough to spawn a whole family...
