...reverse. Yet for all the commotion and concussion, the young Vietnamese Nationalists were calm. Just as one terrorist shell exploded a few feet from headquarters, pitting the walls with its fragments, one Nationalist turned on the overhead fan to keep me-a visiting foreigner-cool in the seasonable summer heat...
...more than 200 years, science had accepted Newton's laws of motion as unalterable. In easily parsed schoolboy terms, they seemed to explain everything, from the behavior of gases to the nature of heat. But in the 1880s, more sensitive instruments were uncovering awkward phenomena, particularly in the physics of light. These phenomena operated in open violation of Newton's laws. To make Newton's physics work, scientists presumed the existence of a substance called ether, which they thought was necessary to carry light waves through space. But experiments soon proved that ether does not exist. Scientists...
...House grounds. By the first Administration of Grover Cleveland, the annual egg roll had been souffleed to its present overwhelming routine. The custom continued for 63 years. In 1941 all records were smashed when a crowd of 53,258 turned up at the White House (ten were grounded with heat exhaustion, four fainted, and 73 children got mislaid). The following year egg rolling was banned because of the war. After the war Mrs. Edith Helm, the White House social secretary, denounced egg rolling as "an orgy of wasted eggs," announced that President Truman would not revive it. But two years...

...Sunday, the Engineers triumphed for the third straight year in the Lucian Sharpe Trophy competition, defeating Crimson sailors, and teams from the University of Rhode Island, Brown, Princeton, Dartmouth, and the Coast Guard Academy. Crimson skipper in the "B" division, Addie Closson, had a tough break in the third heat when he was disqualified because his centerboard became fouled in the anchor line of the windward marker. In the "A" division, Fred Hoppin won the seventh heat, but it was not enough to place the Crimson high in the final standings...
