...years Garrett has grown from a tiny toolmaker to a muscular aerospace contractor that makes 2,000 products and last year boosted sales 8% to $206 million while profits rose a smashing 208% to $5,000,000. The proudest claim of Chairman John Clifford Garrett, 54, is that every U.S. military plane built since 1950 carries some Garrett equipment...
...replied Dick Tiger, white teeth gleaming wickedly in his walnut-colored face. "I ate up the governor of Nigeria because he was making the natives restless-and right after that, I got real hungry and ate half the British garrison at Nsukka." The odds makers decided that the muscular Igbo tribesman was only half kidding. Last week, as he stepped into the outdoor ring at San Francisco's chilly Candlestick Park, Tiger was a 1-2 favorite to beat one of boxing's most durable champions: Middleweight Gene Fullmer, 31, the brawling, broken-nosed Mormon elder...
...idea at Groton, which is far less snobbish than people think. Episcopal Groton, which schooled F.D.R., has 34 teachers for 229 boys (including three Negroes). Seniors supervise younger boys.

But the reader, seduced by the perfectly tailored prose and the quiet delight of well-mannered comedy, may be led to overlook the muscular structure of Powell's art. Nick Jenkins is no Prince Hamlet, but as an attendant lord he misses nothing; his eyebrows are often raised, never his voice. Human action, Powell seems to be saying, is of primary importance in itself but secondary to the movements of history. The climactic...
Unlike such muscular reagents as acids and alkalis, an enzyme system does its job with no fuss and at room temperature. And, says Dr. Edward Beckhorn, Wallerstein's director of research, it does nothing but its job; if other delicate compounds are present, it leaves them strictly alone. Most Wallerstein enzymes are made by specially nourished cultures of bacteria or fungi. Today they treat skins in place of dog manure, keep bottled beer from looking cloudy by digesting the haze of protein that forms when it is chilled. But newer uses are constantly developing. Dr. Beckhorn is working...
