Deadly Stock. Among other near disasters, 15 cars carrying explosives were derailed on Milwaukee's south side. A Sante Fe railway car carrying 750-lb. bombs jumped the tracks near North Avondale, Colo. Fortunately, the bombs did not explode. The 2,300 residents of Chadbourne, N.C., had to leave town when a twelve-car freight carrying ammunition was derailed...

Nikolais devised a series of sliding movements for The Globolinks that suggested weightlessness, and also designed their costumes; males had white tubelike bodies with stick antennas atop their heads; the females sprouted wings.
