Manhattan-born Charles Rosen has been playing the piano since he was five, but when he went to Princeton he majored in French literature and studied music on the side. After that came graduate work, and the big academic push that the Ph.D. requires. Then about two years ago, just before he got his degree, some of his admirers raised $1,000 to pay for a Manhattan piano debut...
...Stewart, 70, dead of natural causes. "Wouldn't let me in his room. He was sitting in there tonight with the window open. I said, 'You're freezing out the house!' He said, 'Don't you come in,' and he started to push me out. Then he fell back in his chair with his eyes staring...

The XF-91 had performed the trick with an extra push from its rocket motor...
Advisers who know both schools and a closer connection between the graduate departments can stimulate a biochemist's interest in the Medical School, but in addition the Medical School must tackle its own students in a completely different way if its faculty wants to push some of them into education.

Since it would already be moving in its earth-circling orbit at a good clip (16,000 m.p.h.), it would need only a moderate additional push to give it escape velocity. Then it could cruise freely in space, like a ship that has risen out of a whirlpool and reached the smooth surface of a lake...
