...rebounded Chamberlain 35 to 28. Chamberlain was tense and annoyed with himself for shooting poorly. He took 38 shots from the floor, sank only 12, and missed often from the foul line (6 for 12). But Russell, rated the game's greatest defensive player, could not keep Rookie Chamberlain from ending the evening as the game's high scorer with 30 points...
...fraud had not been occasional, as his fans had hoped; it was not merely a matter of a few questions supplied to keep him going after he had reached the top on his own. It had been as carefully planned from the start as a well-organized stock swindle. He had lied again and again, first indignantly denying all, then thrusting up new lies containing partial admissions. Almost with relish, Van Doren testified that he had been foolish, naive, prideful, avaricious. To the hilt, he was the anguished soul torn by struggles of conscience-and when he finished, there...

...aluminum tubes, which stands 36 ft. high and weighs only 90 lbs. Bucky's "mast" has the makings of a revolution in architecture, because it puts the horizontal steel-in tension principles that apply to suspension bridges into a vertical context. The wires, in a state of tension, keep the mast unbending and rigid. The aluminum tubes, arranged like pairs of end-to-end coat hangers (see cut), push the wires apart to keep them taut. An exact balance of push-and-pull makes the tower stand...
