...Inside the car, Walker's wife screamed. Walker tugged desperately to free himself. As the train picked up speed, he walked, trotted, then sprinted to keep up. Stumbling, sliding, frantically pulling to free his arm, Walker was dragged to the end of the platform and slammed into a metal rail. As the train entered the tunnel, he was battered repeatedly against the concrete wall along the tracks. When a passenger finally pulled the emergency brake cord, Walker was dead...
Copper has generally been a contentious metal, existing side by side with violent political upheavals, bitter labor strife and speculative price binges. It is the modern metal of communications, a major ingredient of the wires that serve the vast electrical-equipment industry, the huge utilities, and the radio and TV networks. Yet it has seldom caused more excitement than it did last week. A U.S. company, Texas Gulf Sulphur, announced the discovery of one of the biggest and richest copper lodes in history near Timmins, Ont., 350 miles north of Toronto.

On the afternoon of the last day before the escape, Gaspard is suddenly called to the warden's office. Two hours...
...makes for System/360 were promptly disputed by rival manufacturers. Nonetheless, its introduction spotlighted important trends in design and application. The system's basic working parts are "microminiaturized modules": complicated circuits formed by printing with electro-conductive ink on thin ceramic plates half an inch square. To the tiny metal networks are attached transistors and diodes so small that 5,000 of them fit into a thimble...
