...major changes will be in the heavier weights, with both Dick Hook and Charlie Harding out of the lineup. Joe Goodman will replace Hook at 157, while Bob Gilmor will move down from 177 pounds to fill Harding's 167 position. Sophomore Ed Raymond will wrestle his first varsity match at 177, while Pete Morrison again wrestles unlimited...
...phonics experiments have been tried only in small and select school systems. They could also add with complete justification that whatever system is used, today's schools, committed as they are to giving every boy and girl an education, no matter what his capabilities, are up against a heavier problem than any school system has ever faced before. Out of the controversy, it seems, one thing is sure: Flesch's accusations that the public school has abandoned phonics and that before it did, the U.S. had no reading problem, are as ill-founded as his claims that other...

...bang" theory of the birth of the universe. According to this theory, all the matter in the universe was once concentrated in a single dense mass consisting mostly of neutrons. Some of the neutrons disintegrated, forming protons and electrons. They joined with the protons and one another, forming heavier elements. The original nuclear reactions were complete in a few minutes, and they generated so much energy that the ylem (from Greek, original matter) blew up with cosmic vigor. The pieces flew apart. They are still flying apart today as the myriad galaxies of the expanding universe...
...part of their material back into space, the elements produced in the oldest stars became mixed in the general cloud of hydrogen. Therefore new stars that formed out of the cloud started with a different, more varied composition. The nuclear reactions inside them were different, too. They built up heavier elements and shot part of their product back into the cloud...
