While the 47 Club had been strictly female, the girls invited Harvard men to participate in the new project, and soon the Workshop was the focus of all Harvard theater...
...costs of handling, many merchants pin their hopes on greater mechanization of warehouses. A few enthusiasts foresee the day when electronic brains will do all the paper work and robots all the labor. They have even coined a word for it: "autobution."

With a patent monopoly in the field, A.M.F. was able to charge the entire cost of the machine (about $4,800) upon installation, then collect a royalty...
...CRIMSON this week learned that within two years both the flannel suit and the tab or rounded shirt collar will have gone the way of the hair shirt and the diamond stick pin.
