Once all the data had been gathered, the big problem for Cartographer R. M. Chapin Jr. and his staff was to get it all on a two-page map and still make it clearly readable. The rather large aim was to differentiate among natural-gas, crude-oil and product pipelines, to show oilfield areas and natural-gas fields, and to rank refinery areas by size. Besides high cartographic skill, all this called for a special printing process. For the U.S. editions, the map was printed in eight colors-yellow, magenta, green, grey, gold, pink, blue and black.

...Brian's critics might forgive such departures from duty if he took a better view of them and their product. But the performers who bask in O'Brian's favor -Bert Lahr, Perry Como and Walter Cronkite, to name most of them-are vastly outnumbered by those who do not.

Back in the U.S., he finished Yale and Harvard Law. In 1951 he was recalled to the Marines and captained a rifle company in Korea. In 1952 he got his baptism by fire in the political wars as a campaign aide to unsuccessful Providence Mayoralty Candidate Christopher Del Sesto. In 1956 he struck out on his own, was elected to the state house of representatives, and two years later...
...unusual punishment. Speaking for the Supreme Court in the 1927 case of Buck v. Bell, Mr. Justice Holmes upheld Virginia's sterilization of mental defectives with the classic statement, "Three generations of imbeciles are enough" But scientists now consider many human defects to be as much a product of environment as of heredity...
