...because of the increase in consumer prices during the last three months. The Administration's 3.2% wage guideline, already shattered in autos and aluminum, is under the added strain of a growing shortage of skilled labor. Shipbuilders, aircraft and steel companies and machine shops are short of engineers, pipe fitters, welders, mechanics and metal workers; auto companies are lending their tool and die operators to machine toolmakers to help them fill Detroit's orders...

The likeliest theory is that a diesel generator had somehow switched on in the third level, throwing a spark into the volatile atmosphere where pipe fitters were working on the hydraulic system. Thus the Titan II, deadliest and most dependable missile in the U.S. arsenal, accidentally claimed its first victims...

...particularly in glass-walled buildings, whose outside rooms not only lose a great deal of heat in winter but get cooked by the summer sun. Finally, in the early '60s, General Electric engineers lit upon a solution: trap the heat-light through special ducts in the lighting fixtures, pipe it to outside rooms where it is needed most. They found that whole buildings could be heated inexpensively with nothing more than the lamps that light them...
