...were unable to find any whipped cream to use in the Barber's shaving mug. Baritone Robert Merrill experimented with a gooey mixture of sour cream and beaten egg whites, finally, in keeping with the stage directions, had to smear Basso Fernando Corena's face and mouth with the fluffy filling from French cream puffs...
...Gushy. Both Osgood and Frank agreed that Communist China's aggressive big mouth may be a result of its fear of American power-sheer "bluster and growl" to ward off a powerful competitor. Frank even suggested therapy. "In approaching a deeply suspicious person," he cautioned, "it does not pay to be too friendly. Since he is convinced that you mean him no good, he is prone to misinterpret an overly friendly manner as an effort to put something over on him. So a firm, reserved, but not unfriendly manner makes more headway than effusiveness." In many ways, Frank...
Normally, when someone opens his mouth and throws up his arms in London's Hyde Park, he is cranking up a harangue on Marx, the Scriptures, or the empire's twilight. Comedienne Lucille Ball, 54, could probably have done the crackpot bit as well as anyone, though, as it happened, she was just spreading her wings in the fresh spring air before going back to shooting a TV special called "Lucy Goes to London." The show won't be quite as racy as 1963's "Elizabeth Taylor in London," but Lucy swings well enough herself...
...dream of transforming coal into cheaply transportable electrical energy right at the mine mouth has fired engineering imaginations for years. But rare is the mine located near enough to a water supply for feeding a steam turbine to turn a generator, and many are the low-grade deposits that have remained untapped because it has become too expensive to mine the coal and ship it to distant markets. Now the U.S. Department of the Interior has made a modest $680,500 bet that Physicist Meredith Gourdine, 36, has found a promising answer to the dilemma...
...Should Work. Heart of the Gourdine generator is a pressurized furnace that spews a stream of hot gas and fly ash down a narrow tube. At the mouth of the tube, the bits of ash pass a "corona discharge" electrode, a needlepointed piece of metal that carries so high an electrical potential that it sprays the surrounding space with a supply of positive ions. Picked up by the passing ash as it is boosted along by the hot gas, those ions move down the tube creating, in effect, an electric current. The electrical resistance that develops is overcome...
