...corner of the rotor uncovers the exhaust port, and the burned gases are swept out of the engine. Meanwhile, two other cavities have been formed and are passing through the same cycle. Maximum shaft speed is 17,000 r.p.m., but the rotor turns over only one-third as fast...
Stanton shot back a reply: "It shocks me that you should attribute to me motives that have no basis." Reminding Cowan that he had agreed to quit anyway, Stanton said that in the "fast-moving situation" that now faces TV, strong leadership is needed, and "administration is not your forte."

The AromaRama people claim they can reach every nose in the house within two seconds, and remove the odor almost as fast as they release it.

Prednisolone, said Brown, is a Schering improvement on Merck & Co.'s basic cortisone, is marketed by Schering under the trade name Meticortelone. Schering cross-licensed other companies to make it and bought a lot of it from Upjohn Co., at $1.19 per hundred tablets. But this price, argued Brown, did not take into account the costs for research, administration, taxes, selling and distribution. By Schering's figuring, said Brown...
