...broken bones, plus a passenger who went berserk and jumped over the rail. On one hairy occasion, three missionaries were washed overboard, but the only passenger who seems to have been lost permanently is Miss Sara Reiser, 70, who disappeared last month during a walk on one of the Galápagos Islands-a port of call on Burke's round-the-world cruising brigantine Yankee...
...same job. After many tries, he put together a black granular material that picks up copper and uranium only. When this "chelating agent" worked well in the laboratory with simulated sea water, Bayer took it to Naples, put it in a glass column and ran 100 liters (26.42 gal.) of real sea water through it. Then he flushed the chelating agent with dilute hydrochloric acid. Analysis proved that the acid had picked up 450 micrograms of copper and 50 micrograms of uranium, the precise amounts present in 100 liters of Bay of Naples water...
...theology school, but grows impatient with the academic routine. "I didn't come here to be a scholar," he says. Assigned to a large parish in Syracuse, where he calls himself "a man with something to sell," Peale clashes with board members about an advertising campaign ("Lost your gal? In a lurch?

He is then summoned to Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan, where he wins a huge following...
...first 38 laps the lead changed hands, while both drivers nursed their cars carefully, hoping for a break that would put them in front to stay. On the 38th lap, it came: Gurney had to stop for gas. The gas tank of his Lotus held only 40 gal. v. 50 for the Scarab. In the pit, the Lotus's starter froze, and by the time Gurney got back on the track, Foyt was a full lap ahead. Desperately, he tried to close the gap, but the strain was too much: on the 42nd lap, the Lotus...
...Westinghouse Electric Corp. went a $4,000,000 contract for a saltwater conversion plant capable of producing 1,000,000 gal. of fresh water per day; a new catchment basin to collect rain water will also be built, along with an underground reservoir holding 4,000,000 gal. in reserve. By August "Gitmo" will be self-sufficient, no longer concerned about the Cuban waterworks that Castro shut off in reprisal for the seizure of four Cuban fishing boats violating Florida waters...
