Academic work is not skimped: Dunbar requires four years of English, three years of science and social studies, two years of mathematics. The problem is how to make this palatable for future beauticians and bricklayers. Dunbar has a handy solution: it puts all machinist students in the same math class, for example, so the teacher can deal not only with abstractions but also with applications of math to machine tools. Dunbar's graduates also acquire enough academic work to enter college if they wish to (10% to 15% do ). Says Principal Joseph J. Dixon: "We never want to close...
Inelastic Scattering. A tall (6 ft. 3 in.), shambling man, Glenn Seaborg, 49, comes from solidly Swedish stock, was born in the little mining town of Ishpeming, Mich. When Glenn was ten, his father, a machinist, transplanted the family to California. In high school, Glenn at first majored in literature, but during his junior year he took a course in chemistry and found his career. "My God," he said, "why didn't someone tell me how wonderful...
...assistant to Dwight Eisenhower in 1958, managed to land three more Government employees in hot water. Scarcely had the Boston industrialist been ensconced in Danbury, Conn., federal prison to begin a year-and-a-day stretch for tax evasion, when three of its staff-a janitor, a machinist and a cook-were suspended for helping him keep up illicit correspondence with friends on the outside.

...Highway 160, near Moab, Utah, an oil rigger returning to camp drove up moments too late to prevent a vicious murder. Off to the side of the road, clutching his bloody head, stood Charles Boothroyd, 55, a Hartford, Conn., machinist. Near by, fatally wounded, lay Mrs. Jeanette Sullivan, 40. In a ditch was a crumpled tan Volkswagen with sleeping bags and a tent lashed to its top, its interior littered with toilet paper, pillows and sun caps. Missing was Mrs. Sullivan's 14-year-old daughter Denise. Boothroyd and the Sullivans had been sightseeing at Dead Horse Point...
...hikes, to talk nostalgically of the good old days when earnings were low but so were prices, and a working man could live more comfortably on less money. There is only one trouble with the reasoning: it isn't so-and the authority is none other than the Machinist, publication of the International Association of Machinists, A.F.L.-C.I.O. Since 1938, says the Machinist, living costs have doubled, but factory wages have nearly quadrupled. And, comparing the number of factory working hours required in 1948 and 1961 to purchase 27 different items, only two showed change for the worse...
