...before recharging is needed. Auto batteries use lead and acid as the elements to produce their chemical action; nickel-cadmiums use nickel and cadmium electrodes. European engineers after the war developed a way to make them compact in size and to seal them permanently so that no new battery fluid has to be added during their life. Today's vastly more sophisticated nickel-cadmiums need no maintenance, are shockproof and immune to cold, and can be recharged without danger of overcharging...
...Jones and Janet Winburn, sopranos, and Betty Lou Austin, alto, had strong, vibrant voices. The men, all from the Glee Club, equalled them: Robert McKelvey, Clayne Robison, basses, made "The Lord is a Man of War" very convincing; Ivor Francis, tenor, was weak in his upper register, but contributed fluid recitatives and good airs. The orchestra was fine but not overly distinguished...

If a dog attacks, it will be greeted with a jet of "Halt," an odorless fluid containing mineral oil and an extract of cayenne pepper. Halt's pungency irritates the dog's respiratory system, has not yet given the Humane Society any cause for complaint. Says one safety engineer: "The dog puts his tail between his legs and slinks away to the back of the house." Where, no doubt, he meets the milkman...
...form, beautiful harmonies of shapes." To isolate the spirit, Maldarelli used models only for preliminary sketches; for the finished work, he fell back on memory, trusting it to capture the essence that his eye might be blind to. With their looping, twisting solid geometry, Maldarelli's nudes remain fluid and somehow elusive-the lips, noses and eyes are usually only fleetingly perceptible. His women may be solitary figures in repose, misty images that suggest a sense of renewal or emergence, or group studies combining two or three figures that share some common movement or emotion and thus seem...
...problems of the 1,000 graduate students are much more acute. With the exception of those from the British Commonwealth, most foreign graduate students come to Harvard with rosy expectations. Many look forward to an easy, unrestricted life, with little financial hardship. They picture the United States as a fluid yet very integrated society...
