Charlie Ravenel showed Saturday why he is the best quarterback in the Ivy League. The 160-pound speedster led the varsity to an expected 38-12 victory in an unofficial scrimmage with Williams College Saturday, first outside encounter for the Crimson. From the six-minute mark of the first period, the varsity dominated play and completely outclassed the Williams eleven...
...dogs that had died of the disease, Surgeon Segal found the heartworms nestled together in the pulmonary artery. Then he operated on live dogs from the pound. Again the worms were neatly concentrated, so he was able to cut out the mass and restore full blood flow through the artery. The operation, says Dr. Segal, is similar to that used to correct stenosis (narrowing) of the pulmonary artery in children. The work, therefore, affords valuable practice and may turn up information of value in human surgery. Since he rates it as research and not a medical service, Dr. Segal collects...
With a year's-end Treasury surplus, steadily rising exports and the first favorable balance of trade with the U.S. since 1865, the Tories were able last spring to free the pound, lower income and purchase taxes, even reduce by 2? the price of the Englishman's beloved pint. If Gallup is correct, the Tories might not only win a third consecutive term in office-something no party has yet accomplished in British history-but might even increase their House of Commons majority...
...program was a casualty of Defense Secretary McElroy's drive to cut back all "marginal" defense work in an all-out effort to pare down the 1961 budget. It put an end to present hopes for boron-powered planes that would get 40% more energy out of a pound of fuel, thus increase their range (or speed) without adding weight. The Navy has already spent $122 million in the program, the Air Force another $110 million. The first group of 20 B-70s with boron afterburners would have cost $3.5 billion, and the boron fuel to power them would...
What has enabled Price to transform the prefab is intensive automation of his factories. IBM machines control quality and monitor shipments. Nailing machines pound nails into interior and exterior sections with a single bang, and machines automatically cut, sand and paint every section. Overhead cranes move parts down a long assembly line, hoist them onto one of Price's fleet of 476 trucks which take on a house every seven minutes...
