...carrying tearful, terrified children. Hospitals are packed-some 4,800 civilians have been treated for wounds since early May and refugee centers overflow under the tide of the more than 160,000 people made homeless in the past six weeks. Schools have been closed for weeks. Many youngsters wear metal identification tags or bracelets, in case they are lost or found dead or wounded. Barbed wire coils around some homes, sandbag prices and sales have shot up, and the My Duyen Construction Co. offers to build a simple sandbag shelter for $100 and a deluxe model, complete with electric lights...
...papa of all this theatrical enterprise was born Joseph Papirofsky 47 years ago in the tough Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, where his father was a trunkmaker from Poland and his mother a seamstress from Lithuania. After high school and some 20 miscellaneous jobs, including short-order cook and sheet-metal worker, he served a four-year hitch in the Navy and used the G.I. bill to join the Actors Laboratory Theater in Hollywood. In 1954, back in Manhattan as stage manager for CBS-TV, Papp organized an unsalaried Shakespeare workshop in the basement Sunday-school room of a church...
...notorious source of housing-cost inflation is local building codes, which often outlaw new materials and methods. Factory-assembled plumbing can save builders $200 per house, but hundreds of localities forbid it. Around Chicago, builders generally must string electric wiring inside half-inch metal pipes instead of nonmetallic sheathed cable. The extra cost: $150 per house. Pittsburgh's Ryan Homes sells a three-bedroom house for $19,300 in one suburb, but is forced to charge $3,000 more for an almost identical model a few miles away...
...acquisition of Lithium Corp. of America made Gulf Resources, in a single stroke, one of the world's largest producers of lithium, a superlight metal that, in various forms, is used in such disparate products as laundry bleach, synthetic rubber and swimming-pool disinfectant. Lithium Corp. also has a stake in a venture to extract potash and other minerals from Utah's Great Salt Lake. Bunker Hill, meanwhile, is one of the U.S.'s biggest producers of zinc, lead and silver. By acquiring it, Gulf Resources also strengthened its profit position, since Bunker Hill had earnings last...
Schumacher obtains his electron projectiles by boiling them off a heated metal cathode. High-power electrical fields focus them into a narrow beam and boost them up to tremendous speeds - in much the same manner as electron beams are generated inside a TV picture tube. But Schumacher's gun has a special capability: its electron beam maintains its focus and power for a short distance after it squirts out of the gun barrel and into the atmosphere. In earlier experimental cutters the beam lost its power almost immediately in collisions with air molecules; the target material...
