...life is a grind for the undergraduate, it is a grist mill for the advanced student. Already equipped with some scientific training, the grad student finds Tech more a job where he is an apprentice than a school where he is a learner. For him this is no 9-5 day, 40-hour week proposition. The chemical engineers and spectroscopists may work around the clock figures on a dial, and the night lights of the architectural drafting room are a beacon that can be seen as far down Mass. Ave, as Central Square...
...Motor Co., set up pilot operations to mine and process* jasper by a new method. Last week Cleveland-Cliffs and Inland Steel Co. announced that they will build, near Marquette, Mich., the nation's first big jasper-mining and processing project. At peak production the Marquette plants will grind some 6,000,000 tons of jasper yearly, convert it into 3,000,000 tons of walnut-sized pellets that contain 60% iron...
Hell on Frisco Bay (Jaguar; Warner) The resident devil is Edward G.

Now all is changed. For months, in the newspapers and at hearings in New York City, Boston and Stamford. Conn., the commuters have complained bitterly about sloppy service, endless delays, dangerous cutbacks in maintenance. All of the invective has been directed at one man, Patrick Benedict McGinnis, 51, the colorful, terrible...
...long way," he admitted himself, "a lot further than people believe. The hard part was to keep faith in myself when everybody else was knocking me. Just my faith in God, my wife and my own self have kept me going." At the end of the long, tough training grind, Sugar seemed to have recovered some of his old confidence. On his last day in training camp, he nodded toward two of his sparring partners-aggressive, Olson-type plodders-and asked his managers, "We won't be needing these gorillas any more, will we?" "No," said the managers...
