...Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire, Tennessee, Washington and Wisconsin have accepted the practice. Alaska, Montana, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, and West Virginia are now experimenting...
Which is not to say, not at all, that John Wilson is trying to fool anybody. If a paneled room with baronial fireplace happens to be from London's Barclays Bank, he says so, and an Oklahoma City developer is pleased indeed to buy it for $32,500. But at a preview Wilson has also eagerly explained that a particular "pub" was actually taken from a church and rearranged. "We embellish, combine, try to keep the period," he says...

Normally the plant butchers 16,000 hogs a week. Other meat-plant workers were laid off in Iowa, Nebraska and Oklahoma...

Moore and his aide, Bill Moyer, another O.U. meteorology student, keep peering at the sky, noting the cloud peaks tilting to the southeast, indicating that jet-stream winds are active.

It has taken 500 miles of driving and ten hours, but Moore has caught his tornado, and it didn't catch him. The 11 ft. of film on which he captured nature's awesome dervish will be scrutinized by NSSL scientists and added to the incomplete yet growing mosaic of knowledge about storms that kill an average of 250 people a year and do a billion dollars worth of damage...
