...fourth day of the annual yearling auction at Saratoga Springs, N.Y., the horse-trading Fasig-Tipton Co. set a new world's record: a Keswick Stables chestnut filly sired by Swaps, 1955 Kentucky Derby winner, went to Paul Mel-Ion's Rokeby Stable for $83,000-highest price ever paid for a yearling filly at public auction...
...promising solution makes use of ion exchange resins, bits of plasticlike material with metallic atoms built into their molecules. This material can be made to release certain elements in exchange for others. So when milk that has been slightly acidified with citric acid passes through the resin, it loses most of its strontium and picks up a little extra sodium or calcium. A process using this principle was developed by scientists of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, captures 98% of the strontium, but it costs nearly 10? per quart-more than most dairy farmers get for their milk...

...Latimer), by coating thin nickel foil with a circular film of artificial californium (element 98) only one-tenth of an inch in diameter. Placed in a container filled with helium gas, this tiny target was bombarded by a beam of boron nuclei from the lab's heavy-ion linear accelerator. Most of the boron bullets missed, but a few scored a bull's-eye on californium nuclei. Atoms formed by the combination of californium and boron bounced off the nickel foil, were slowed by collision with helium atoms and were picked up by a copper conveyor belt...
...Sherwood who suggested in 1955 that his compulsively talking, ever-quipping wife try for an audition as a comedienne at San Francisco's Purple On ion. She ran 89 weeks. Warm, friendly and modest about everything but her jokes, Mrs. Diller is one successful per former who finds it easy to believe what is happening to her. "The older I get, the funnier I get," she says. "Think what I'll save in not having my face lifted...
