...from lightening the physician's burden, recent knowledge of the causes and cures in several types of anemia, Dr. Wintrobe holds, has made it heavier. But it has made things a lot better for the patient, provided the doctor uses that pound of thoroughness...
...cuts as possible. But experience with other sports--the freshman baseball teams often play two afternoons a week--shows that any student can have his labs or classes adjusted so that they do not fall on a Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. The junior varsity, whose players have a heavier schedule than the freshmen, are still able to play Friday afternoon games...
Embarrassment of Riches. Biggie Munn himself, some ten pounds heavier than when he was a burly (5 ft. 9 in., 220 Ibs.) All-America guard at Minnesota two decades ago, is the magnet that draws much of the talent.

Above all, Munn harps on the importance of loyalty...
Electromagnetic Ballast. The Trieste's vertical movements are controlled just like a balloon's. To descend, it releases gasoline, which makes it heavier in the water. To rise it drops ballast. The Trieste's ballast is four tons of iron filings stowed in containers in the floater. Electromagnets, which make iron filings stick together, keep the ballast from moving. When their current is cut off, the filings flow into the sea. This system "fails safe." If anything happens to the ship's power supply, the ballast is dropped automatically. Then the Trieste, lightened, will rise...
...seventh round, LaStarza seemed to have a chance of going the whole way; Rocky was missing a lot of earnest punches. Then Rocky changed tactics, shortened his blows, began pummeling LaStarza's body with lefts and rights. The challenger's guard sank slowly, his retreating feet got heavier, his counterpunches weaker. It ended in the eleventh, when LaStarza, slowed by a left hook, got in the way of a sharp right, and was driven sprawling through the ropes. LaStarza was vertical again, though little else, after a count of nine. The referee had to stop the fight...
