"We met in a second-floor conference room of the famous Playboy Mansion and talked for nearly two hours, and there were no girls or hedonists around...
...scheduled to be a routine mission, a dive of about an hour's duration in only a few hundred feet of water off Key West, Fla.

In the interest of promoting competition, General Electric was forced to pass out patented electrical know-how to competitors in the early '50s. But rarely if ever...
...clean sweep of the 1972 Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry. One of them, Physicist John Bardeen, 64, who shared the physics award, became the first person ever to win two Nobel Prizes in the same field; in 1956 he was awarded his first Nobel Prize as co-inventor of the transistor...
