...ready to begin selling. The modest, basically similar, concrete-block houses ranged from $8,750 for a two-bedroom structure to $11,600 for a three-bedroom and two-bath house. On the first week end, purchasers bought 272 of the neat and gay pastel houses-and the flow has not stopped since. In 1960 the Webb company sold 1,472 houses and 262 apartments for about $17.5 million-and 60% of the sales were for cash. This year the company is building a second batch of slightly larger houses that sell for from...
...promising escape from this difficulty is "superconductivity"-the scientists' way of saying that certain materials, when cooled close to absolute zero (-460°F.), allow current to flow through them without the slightest hindrance, as light flows through empty space. Superconducting wires, even though very thin, can carry large currents, so coils made of them should be able to generate very strong magnetic fields. But when scientists eagerly tried this obvious trick to increase magnetic strength, they discovered that it simply did not work: magnetism itself, even if only moderately powerful, destroyed the superconductive qualities of all materials that...
...anything, getting finer press notices abroad than at home. So great is European interest in President Kennedy that editors are pressing their Washington correspondents for an unprecedented flow of stories, dealing not only with Kennedy and his policies and advisers but with his family, his entertaining (the French welcomed the serving of champagne at the White House), and his cultural life...
...single private practitioner was left for 55,000 people, and they had only one county hospital - understaffed because many hospital doctors have joined the exodus to the West. In Rostock, one remaining eye specialist, a 72-year-old man, keeps a ten-hour-a-day schedule. The flow of fleeing physicians has reached a flood stage of 800 or more a year, and shows no signs of subsiding. Remaining doctors, especially the relatively few in private practice, are grossly overworked, and patients are under-doctored...
...Very Correct." In the mercurial flow of battle, neither the artist's eye nor his skill could freeze the scene with absolute accuracy. But the Special came astonishingly close. His severest critics were the troops; when the illustrated weeklies reached the front, their pictures were carefully measured against the memories of the subjects themselves. "I beg to say," wrote a major of the 9th New York Regiment to Leslie's in 1862, "that your illustrations of the victories on Roanoke Island are very correct." If the artist erred, he was certain to hear of it. Alfred Waud...
