...lone Dartmouth goal was scored midway through the second period, when center forward Randy Quayle broke free from a scramble in front of the net and booted a low shot past sprawling goalie Bill Meyers...
...block of ice, where steel is as brittle as glass, a rubber ball shatters when it hits the floor, and lead is an almost perfect conductor of electricity." The odd goings-on described by Engineer Thompson all occur in the far-out world of cryogenics-the science of ultra-low temperatures...
...solidify. As the gases approach absolute zero, a sophisticated magnetization process extracts their remaining reservoir of heat. Because there will always be slight thermal motion of the atomic particles, scientists will never actually achieve absolute zero. But last July, Naval Research Laboratory Physicist Arthur Spohr reported achieving a record low temperature by chilling helium to within a millionth of a degree of absolute zero-3/10 of a millionth of a degree colder than the lowest temperature previously achieved...
While most U.S. corporations are continually on the prowl for ripe acquisition possibilities, merger fever is just beginning to infect Britain, which still abounds with inefficient, low-profit companies that duplicate products and services. Ironically, the Socialist government has been the primary booster of a trend toward bigger business, and in 1966 formed the Industrial Reorganization Corporation to promote and help finance regroupings in industry. As it happens, the chief beneficiaries of the government-sponsored merger wave are groups of experts who act as brokers for companies in search of a good...
...mopped up the 140,000-ton world surplus that had been anticipated this year. By last week, U.S. buying had driven copper prices on the London Metal Exchange up from 44½? a Ib. to 50⅛? a Ib. Most producers are surprised that the price has stayed that low; London copper prices normally gyrate on the flimsiest sort of news and early in 1966 they briefly hit a peak of 98¾? a Ib. In the U.S., where the prestrike price of copper from domestic mines was only 38? a Ib., users are shifting to metal from commercial channels...
