...student flashes the familiar gray card impatiently, as he passes the cash register. The delicate odors of apple pie a la mode, blended with hamburgers and some unknown form of potato, fuse together . . . . Monday, deep-dish apple-pie; Tuesday, apple-pie squares; Wednesday, apple-pie a la mode; Thursday...
...corruption, grandiose projects and politics for politics' sake, Puerto Rico buckled to work and remodeled itself. In the mood of reappraisal after the stones and spit that flew at Vice President Richard Nixon in South America, the island offers a laboratory where U.S. and Latin cultures and economies fuse with useful, imaginative lessons. For the dramatic methods that Poet-Governor Luis Muñoz Marin used in changing Puerto Rico from an "unsolvable problem" to a prosperous, burgeoning tropical workshop, see HEMISPHERE, The Bard of Bootstrap...
...community center; some 15 minutes after the call, a nearly identical bomb smashed windows at the all-Negro James Weldon Johnson High School.

Most of the attacks have been against Negroes, but. for the first time since a short-lived 1951 outbreak in Miami, the South's spare Jewish population...
...complex machines that work in about the same way toward the same simple purpose: to heat gaseous deuterium (heavy hydrogen) as hot as possible and confine it in a small space as long as possible. When deuterium atoms get hot enough, they hit each other so hard that they "fuse," forming helium 3 (and a neutron) or tritium (and a proton), and give off energy. This process happens explosively in H-bombs, but to control the reaction, the deuterium must be confined. Since ordinary, solid walls cannot hold the gas at the necessary temperature of many million degrees, fusion reactors...
...Louvre's galleries, he tried to analyze the color alchemy of the old masters. What Seurat was working toward was a system that would break down color into its components; then he set these down in minute dots so that the result, seen from a distance, would fuse in the retina of the viewer's eye, rather than be muddled on the painter's palette...
