...saddest stories have been written in Cambridge and Ithaca. Cornell had based much of its hopes on halfback Marcy Tino (a converted quarterback) and quarterback Dave McKelvey, the nucleus of the legaue's best backfield. But Tino suffered a pre-season knee injury and will not play at all this year, and in the first quarter of the Big Red's opener against Colgate, McKelvey broke an ankle. He too is out for the season. As for Harvard, Charlie Ravenel, the man who has made the Crimson move for the past three years, sprained his right knee against UMass last...
Another remarkable thing about living organisms is their ability to store in the nucleus of a single microscopic cell all the genetic information that makes that cell develop into a vastly complicated creature such as a fish, a bird or a man. Dr. Savely does not expect that those deep mysteries will be solved soon, but he is sure that study of them by physicists, chemists and mathematicians, as well as by biologists, will add enormously to the power of scientific...
...people arranged to have Pennsylvania Boss Lawrence make the nominating speech and backed it up with seconding speeches by six men representing diverse regions (among them: Chicago's Negro Congressman William Dawson). Still, the electric charges in the arena shot about like hot neutrons in search of a nucleus. On the call for a voice vote, Michigan's 152-member delegation-as well as other vociferous liberals-broke into a tumultuous "NO!" Florida's Governor Collins ruled Lyndon Johnson in by acclamation...
...long after, Fairchild built his famous aerial camera. Left $2,000,000 when his father died in 1924, he set up Fairchild Aviation and turned it into a $6,000,000 business in a few years. Wall Street bankers, eying it as the nucleus for a "General Motors of the air," bought control. But the new management was not equal to the idea, and Fairchild got his company back in 1931. In 1936 he formed Fairchild Engine & Airplane Corp. in a share-for-share spin-off of Fairchild Aviation, turned the older company into Fairchild Camera. Fairchild hired J. Carlton...
Victory Cutbacks. After V-J Day, when the big cutbacks came, Swirbul was forced to lay off the entire working force of 25,500. He hired back a nucleus of 3,500. Although Grumman Aircraft's sales dropped from $236,846,861 in 1945 to only $37,615,540 the next year, the company-unlike most of the rest of the industry-made a profit...
