...walking mummy as he dressed for the game. Huge strawberries from sliding marked his right thigh, and it had to be armor-plated in adhesive tape. But his imploring fans were not disappointed. Singling to first in the third inning, he took off for second like a Texas jack rabbit; trying to cut him down, the St. Louis catcher threw the ball into center field. That gave Wills base No. 96 to tie the record. Four innings later, he went off for second again. The throw seemed to have him beaten, but it was high. Wills slid safely under...
...aviation, who took the presidency of an embryonic North American Aviation in 1935, built it into an industrial giant with sales of $1.2 billion and a work force of 80,000; of congestive heart failure; in Pacific Palisades, Calif. Operating on the philosophy that "nobody ever pulled a rabbit out of a hat without carefully putting one there in the first place," Dutch Kindelberger organized his industry's first mass-production assembly line, during World War II cranked out a total of 25,486 P-51 fighters and B-25 bombers.

...nontechnical methods are not neglected either. Missile-sniffing dogs are getting intensive training. A pair named Dingo and Count are being schooled to locate small missile fragments coated with paint mixed with squalene, a noisome extract of shark-liver oil. The dogs have already learned to ignore coyote and rabbit scents, and they can whiff a shark-flavored fragment half a mile downwind. Vernon Miller, chief of the range instrumentation division, thinks that the dog detectives will be over the research hump and busy at serious work within six months...
...Were Dead." Wilson's eye from now on will be mostly upon the amazing steel mill that sprang like a jack rabbit from the East Texas piney woods. Built by the Government during World War II to produce pig iron. Lone Star had yet to pour any metal when V-J day arrived. Soon after the war, the unpromising one-furnace mill was sold for $7,500,000 to an optimistic group of Texas businessmen. To run it, they chose Germany, a onetime schoolteacher and salt packer who had grown wealthy as an oilfield wildcatter. Borrowing from the Reconstruction...
