...loss to Cornell the next night followed the same pattern as most recent Harvard games. A hot-shooting first half enabled the Crimson to stay ahead of the Big Red, who had trouble making easy shots under the basket and converting free throws...
Bress's hopeful theory is that most people can read music or that they can at least "get the pattern." The combination of sound and score is particularly essential in the performance of modern music, Bress believes, to convince bewildered audiences that "they are not being hoodwinked and that the artist is not getting away with murder." Last week's performance suggested some hazards that Bress, 29, may not have anticipated. Spectators on the left of the hall grumped that the violinist's tall silhouette concealed many of the notes. Other spectators seemed so fascinated...
Continuum of Mankind. If a dancer is good, she suggests purely and superbly the fundamental mechanics of ancestry and progeny-the continuum of mankind. But a great many of what Variety calls the "cooch terpers" are considerably less cosmic than that. Each dancer follows the ancient Oriental pattern-she glides sideways with shoulders motionless while her stomach migrates, and, through breathing and muscle control, she sends ripples across her body to the fingertips and away to the far end of the room. This is done at varying speeds, ranging from the slow and fast Shifte Telli (a musical term meaning...
...rare relaxation, Felt, a crack poker player, summed up his basic attitude in a paraphrase from Mister Dooley: "Trust everybody, but always cut the cards." Hunting & Homework.

The pattern continued after the family moved from Kansas to Washington, D.C., and when there was no money for college, Mother Felt...
...Almost inevitably, space science was the glamour science. The U.S. sent into orbit satellites Tiros I and Tiros II, which observed the earth's weather from above and sent back thousands of cloud-pattern pictures that are revolutionizing meteorology. The U.S.'s Courier I-B showed what can be done by a satellite packed with electronic equipment and acting as a relay station for forwarding floods of messages almost instantaneously around the curve of the earth. Echo I, the 100-ft. balloon satellite, which is still a striking naked-eye spectacle in the sky, showed the value of a large...
