...Republican state chairmen in the South since the Civil War. As leaders of a small and suspect minority, many G.O.P. chairmen shrugged off any chance of winning state elections, dozed on dusty courthouse steps, and dreamed of the election of the next Republican President and the patronage that would flow down from Washington...
...growth (annual average: 8%). Although at home Britons lived amid unprecedented-and inflationary-prosperity, a long series of financial crises culminated last summer in a massive, sustained flight from the pound that at its peak pumped up to $1.4 billion a month out of Britain. The government stanched the flow with heavy loans and anti-inflationary wage curbs (the "pay pause"), but the only permanent cure, economists decided, was to boost
...cheaper process developed by Chemistry Professor Harry P. Gregor of Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn uses thin plastic membranes containing submicroscopic pores that permit the passage of small atoms with positive electric charges. Milk is made to flow along one side of a membrane; on the other side is a solution of such salts as calcium and sodium chlorides that are naturally present in milk. If the milk contains strontium 90 atoms, they pick up positive electric charges from a current flowing through the solution. Then they slip through the membrane and lose themselves in the harmless salts. Dr. Gregor thinks...
Confident Service. TFM was first used in 1958 on lamprey-spawning streams that flow into Lake Superior, and by last spring the tide had turned against the slimy invaders. The number caught in traps as they tried to swim upstream fell to 12% of the 1961 catch. The adults are apparently dying off and are not being replaced by adolescent larvae...

As soon as each lake is reasonably safe, the service will release baby trout, confident that most of them will not be sucked to death by lampreys...
