People unaccustomed to writing have taken pencil in hand to carve smudgy letters of praise to the Courier. The comments echo those of a graying man sitting on a barrel at a gas station in Bessemer one summer afternoon: "That's a good paper. It's easy to read...
...method is so simple that, in most cases, it can be carried out under a local anesthetic in the doctor's office. The patient is told to fix his gaze on a distant object. Then, while his eyelid is held open, the icy tip of the pencil-size probe is applied to every part of the diseased section for seven seconds at a time. The area is thawed each time with a salt solution to unstick the probe and eye, which freeze together after the fashion of a finger on an ice tray. After the thaw, the entire procedure...
...play Bottom and Pyramus," thinks Richard, "but why should I stop at two roles?" So he announces, "Let me play Oberon too--or methinks I won't play at all." Believing that a loaf and a half is better than none, the powers-that-be agree to pencil him in as king of the fairies...
...down the block at the Hotel Algonquin's fabled conversational Klatsch, the Round Table; among its other members were such quotables as Alexander Woollcott, Franklin Pierce Adams, Heywood Broun, Harold Ross, Marc Connelly and George S. Kaufman. She was pert, provocative, blinking her hazelgreen eyes or raising her pencil-arched eyebrows until they touched the line of her dark bangs as she delivered her acerbic ripostes...
...awarded an Air Force contract. Now, after four years of mathematical analysis and laboratory work, he has finally built several prototype models of the mini-antennas that Turner visualized. The simplest of Meinke's devices, which the Air Force calls Subminiature Integrated Antennas (SIA), consists of three stubby, pencil-sized arms, each at tached to one of the three terminals of a transistor. Combined with the electrical properties of capacitance, inductance and resistance in the antenna arms, the transistor forms a circuit that has a low resonant frequency and thus "looks" physically bigger to incoming radio waves. Using...
