Inside the tinderbox building one boy woke as the flames rolled across the fiberboard ceiling, and cried out the alarm. Flinging themselves against the windows, some of the youngsters slashed their heads and arms on broken glass, tore frantically at the "escape-proof" steel mesh between them and safety. While others pushed at him in terror, Charley Meadows, 16-year-old night sergeant for the inmates, at last broke through one window guard, and another gave way to the boys' desperate strength. Through the two openings, 48 escaped. By the time the fire trucks arrived, the building had caved...
Hartman's intelligence is manifest in the current production, but his consistency sometimes falters. Each of the several portrayals is excellent in its own right, but they do not always mesh as they might. Becklan Algren plays Gogo more or less naturalistically, with accent and gestures that would be equally appropriate to Waiting for Lefty. A recognizable human characterization lies behind his performance. Tony LoBianco's Vladimir seems, on the other hand, to have an abstraction behind it. The two men are professionals, and pursue their readings with great skill, but they do not always coordinate properly...
...blown many joints of pot. We were going to fall up to Marco's room, the young man in the sports shirt burbled assiduously. We went downstairs and out, out into the fantastic American night. The city was a crazy mesh of iron rectangle buildings and neon gargoyles zipping orange in the black air. The four of us flew on the two big Harleys through the wild night streets up to Marco's pad, all under the unimaginable American...
Paper Plan. Behlen's big break came in 1947, when he designed a frameless corn crib made of corrugated wire mesh. Farmers jumped at it because it was so simple to assemble. Behlen borrowed from the RFC to pay for a bigger plant, netted $305,000 that year and paid off the loan in six months. Then the corrugating idea really blossomed. One day he devised a new way of double corrugation by folding a piece of stationery in an unusual pyramidal form. It was so much stronger that he decided to use the principle for building. Panels...
...nothing but a thin plastic sheet coated with cesium or some other material that gives off electrons when struck by light. On earth these electrons would get nowhere; they would be captured immediately by atmospheric atoms. On the airless moon the electrons could be collected by a wire mesh. Flowing out of the mesh, they would form a direct electric current...
