...weeks ago Plante caught a shot from the New York Rangers' Andy Bathgate full in his face. The game was delayed 25 minutes while a doctor put seven stitches in the cut on the left side of his nose. But when he skated back to his place in front of the net, Plante was wearing the mask he had previously used only in practice. Rival goalies lifted scarred eyebrows and wondered whether the mask would slow Plante's split-second performance...

...Plante fashioned his first shutout of the season by blanking the Toronto Maple Leafs, 3-0, had allowed only five goals in five games (v. 28 in twelve pre-mask games), was a major reason for the Canadiens' long lead in the N.H.L. Said Plante: "When I first put on the mask, the boys all told me I would scare the women. They wouldn't come to see the games any more. I'll tell you something: if I went on the way I was going, pretty soon my face would look worse than the mask...

Three years ago, Raytheon Co. of Waltham, Mass, set out to see what it could do to cure these shortcomings. Its scientists started with the knowledge that when carbon-rich gases are put in a lab furnace and decomposed by high heat, they sometimes deposit carbon in the form of a peculiarly dense graphite. At first this stuff was only a laboratory curiosity, and for a long time no one made it in quantity or thoroughly tested its properties. But after considerable experimentation, Raytheon's furnaces yielded a hard, impermeable, layered material that looks like black porcelain. Called Pyrographite...

...GREAT part of modern life is lived by artificial light, and yet no major painter has devoted himself to this glittering and multi-hued area until now. This week Manhattan's Babcock Galleries put on show the work of Chicago's Richard Florsheim, the first artist to attempt an all-out embrace of the world of electrical, chemical and neon fires.

...have died or retired. Privately, many railroadmen concede that the U.S. situation is not entirely the unions' fault; U.S. railroads are often run inefficiently, with management clinging to ancient practices as fervently as do the unions. Ben Heineman, chairman of the Chicago & North Western Railroad, would like to put railroad employees on an eight-hour day, pay them for overtime as other industries do-and insist on an honest day's work. Says he: "It would be up to the railroads to schedule things so that there wouldn't be much deadheading. The burden would...
