Harvard Cooperative Society members can pick up their annual patronage refund checks today, but this time the checks may seem a bit lighter than usual.

...Book Record. In the summer of 1962, Henry Ford II and other company executives attended a sneak preview of the Cortina at Montlhéry race track south of Paris. The car was 5 lbs. lighter and $3 cheaper than the Red Book had projected. Only major change in Beckett's schedule, in fact, was the annual-production target, which was raised from 150,000 to 250,000. In 1963, its first full manufacturing year, Cortina production reached...

Near the beginning of time, the universe almost certainly contained many elements heavier than uranium, the heaviest element that exists naturally on earth. Gradually these "transuranium" elements disappeared, decomposing by radioactive decay into lighter and more stable elements. During the past few decades, however, at least eleven transuranium elements and their isotopes have reappeared, thanks to the ingenuity of man. In their latest atomic synthesis, nuclear physicists have produced the heaviest atom known to man, a new isotope of the element mendelevium, which itself was first artificially created...

...Queens were launched, Queen Elizabeth II will smash a champagne bottle to send the Cunard Line's new est flagship down the ways. The vessel, known up to launch time as "Q4" or "Hull No. 763," is slightly smaller than the Queens and, owing to modern materials, vastly lighter (58,000 tons v. Elizabeth's 82,997). And, to the relief of a British government that is underwriting much of its cost, it will also be more economical...

...entirely new, but he has honed it to a greater sharpness than have previous investigators. Every human being of every race lives through a cycle of supporting evidence for at least part of it and carries some in his hand throughout life. Babies of all races are lighter than adults, presumably reflecting nature's provision for early vitamin D needs. And people of all races have pale, unpigmented palms and soles. Since these parts have extra keratin and are not exposed to ultraviolet, they need no melanin protection against excess vitamin D synthesis...
