...that passes without [this legislation] exposes us to great danger." And Secretary of State Dulles followed up with a draft bill providing that applicants could be denied passports if engaged in Communist "activities"-as distinguished from "beliefs"-within the past ten years, the denial to be subject to due process of appeal through the courts...
...elements available to the glassmasters of 13th century Chartres, and more. The soft radiance of medieval glass, coming from imperfections that fractured the light, was duplicated by hand craftsmanship. The gothic spectrum was expanded by modern chemistry to include an endless range of intermediate tones. But the laborious process of cutting glass to the pattern of the cartoon, painting in details with an enamel of metallic oxides and ground glass, baking it, and finally assembling it with strips of lead is almost unchanged. Villon worked several months on sketches (one-tenth actual size), made monthly trips to Reims to supervise...

Through this process Virginia manages to exorcise the mental tormentors and thoughts of suicide, until she can at the end rejoice, "It is pretty here!" Thus, the title of the play not only designates its physical locale but also symbolizes the catharsis of Virginia's crowded, confused mind...
...feature: an aluminum engine, which will save 150 Ibs., in turn reduce overall engine weight 30% by means of lighter mountings, braces, etc. Up to now every aluminum engine required either a ferrous liner or a chromium coating for cylinder bores; both were expensive to make and troublesome to process. G.M. believes it has solved the problem by finding a wear-resistant aluminum alloy that can be cast in the same fashion as iron...
...total weight in aluminum. The major stumbling block has always been cost: aluminum for engines costs about three times as much as grey iron. Yet many engineers are coming around to the theory that costs even out in the long run, since aluminum costs less to machine and process. Moreover, it has many other advantages-no chip, no pit, no peel, no rust. But the biggest advantage of all is in performance. In recent tests with two cars identical except for a difference of 400 lbs. in weight, the lighter car accelerated and decelerated from 20% to 25% faster...
