...chimney that is capped by filters to keep radioactive dust from escaping into the atmosphere. The uranium fire deep in the reactor was too much for them. Some of its deadly "smoke" got loose, and a good bit settled on the surrounding countryside, now known in Britain as "Geiger Gulch...
...marshal. "Who knows what's safe? I know a man dropped dead from lookin' at his wife." By that standard, moviegoers will be safer at this picture than at home. The marshal is trying to "deppytize" a passel of Hollywood tender-seats to convey a captured dry-gulch artist (Glenn Ford) cross country to catch a train, but the bandit's gang is on the lurk, and the cowboys aren't having any. They leave the job to a drought-poor homesteader (Van Heflin) who needs the money ($200) to buy water for his cattle. From...

...Tuttle (1837-1923), the son of a Methodist blacksmith in Windham, N.Y., who was graduated from Columbia College and General Theological Seminary, became missionary bishop of Montana (with jurisdiction in Utah and Idaho). For a time he ministered to his flock from Helena, Mont., otherwise known as Last Chance Gulch. In 1886 big "Bishop Dan," bearded and baldheaded, became Bishop of Missouri. Though deaf as a doorstop from middle age, he presided ably over meetings with the aid of an "informer." When he died at 86, he had been a bishop for 56 years, had helped consecrate 89 other bishops...
