...Crimson basketball team has perhaps the toughest assignment, for it must readjust its sights from bluebooks to backboards in time to meet Yale at New Haven. The Elis have not measured up to pre-season expectations so far, but must still be awarded the favorite's role by reason of home-court advantage, if no other...
...Harvard University, which must bag some $27,000,000 more by June to meet the $82,500,000 goal of its Program for Harvard College (TIME, Nov. 26, 1956), came the largest gift so far from an individual donor: $2,000,000 for scholarships. The anonymous giver, who went through Harvard on a scholarship, regards the huge sum, said President Nathan M. Pusey, as "only partial payment" for his education. To other men of parts who once had scholarships, Pusey observed that the college needs more such partial payments...
...never married or come close.

...Midwestern auto supplier planned a highly automated plant to make auto frames. But he did not allow sufficient lead time to get out all the bugs. The automated equipment was out of line, would not pass the parts along, and the company had to return to manual equipment to meet production schedules. A Los Angeles wholesale drug company automated the ordering and billing for its warehouse. But hardly had the warehouse started to operate when it had to shut down for nearly two months to straighten out its affairs after the computer had reduced the paper work to chaos...
...meet the demands of missile makers, U.S. scientists have worked for years on metals that can resist the high temperatures generated by supersonic speeds. One such metal is molybdenum, which melts at 4748° F., v. about 3000° F. in commonly used alloys. But making molybdenum castings was long impossible; its melting point is so high that it destroyed the crucible holding it. Last week the U.S. Bureau of Mines announced "a major metallurgical breakthrough"; it had succeeded in making molybdenum castings...
