Ironclad Rule. Surrounded by bosomy Gobelin tapestries depicting the life and love of Henri IV and his Italian queen, Marie de Medici, and warmed by the glow of a log fire, Couve kept at his workhorse job. For though the policy objectives of France are laid down in the presidential offices at the Elysee Palace, it is across the river at the Quai d'Orsay, and inside Couve's nimble and encyclopedic head, that the means for action are sorted out and applied...

Flown to Tinian on Aug. 5, 1945, to ride over Hiroshima with the crew of the Enola Gay, Laurence was bumped off the plane by Curtis LeMay, had to console himself by talking the copilot into keeping a log.

The Texas and Pacific building West, though, wouldn't be bought or persuaded. A crafty state legislator from Dallas tacked a rider onto the railroad...
...Longmeadow stone that reflects the sullen soil of the area. So far he has finished the $3,500,000 Kline Geology Laboratory, a medieval keep whose slit windows admit daylight willy-nilly-and which one Yale Corporation member dryly describes as "solid as rock and functional as an electric log." Its fortresslike appearance will be repeated in a 13-story tower for the Kline biology quarters...
