...first half started slowly--and fairly evenly--but at the 12 minute mark Yale's fast break began to click, and two quick baskets by Downs broke an 18-18 deadlock. From that point on, the Elis steadily pulled ahead until they went off the floor with a 35-28 halftime lead...

Trade-named Temposil by Lederle Laboratories, it is citrated calcium carbimide (CCC). A single tablet sensitizes the patient so fast that if he takes a drink within as little as ten minutes he will feel flushed and short of breath, and get a headache-all severely enough to make him turn against the bottle. Unlike disulfiram, CCC rarely causes vomiting, a marked drop in blood pressure, or other undesirable side effects.

McDonnell went into missiles and helicopters, landed an $8,000,000 contract for its XV1 convertiplane, another $45 million for its high-speed Quail bomber decoy drone. Latest project: the supersonic (Mach 2 plus) F4H fighter, which beat out Chance Vought's F8U3 Crusader...
