...bomb. Moreover, the theory behind Rover is disarmingly simple. In present U.S. and Russian space rockets, thrust is produced by the combustion of highly volatile chemical propellants. In Rover, a small nuclear reactor will generate heat that will expand hydrogen. This, in turn, will be directed out of the rear of the rockets to provide thrust. Because the reactor and the hydrogen take up relatively little room, scientists estimate that Rover will be able to haul triple the loads of conventional rockets, could be adapted to shuttle flights between earth and moon...
...supplier's plant left the new Larks stranded on the production line without doors; by the time cars began to trickle through to dealers, many a would-be Lark buyer had switched to something else. Much the same fate befell the Wagonaire station wagon, which has a rear roof that slides open. Scarcely had the Wagonaire been introduced and consumer demand for it proven brisk when Studebaker discovered that the sliding roof leaked. Not until mid-November was the problem overcome well enough to allow volume production...

As I neared a small street intersection--they came on--one on the left--one on the right--& one in back--evidently to surround me. But--I quickened my pace and dangled my holster: I pulled out my trusty pipe in gun-like fashion. "Stop this moment--or I'll fire at you--I have a loaded gun in my hand...
...light a cigarette, Gail asked, "What are you going to do now?" "I haven't made up my mind yet," he said. He drove off again, stopped at one point to move Gail into the trunk of the car. Later, after sundown, he put her back into the rear seat, tied her hands to a door handle, went into a grill in nearby Norwalk, bought a chicken sandwich and gave it to Gail. Then he raped...
...admired an Sickles' leg. They could also gape at a lock of Lincoln's hair, a bone sliver from his skull, and bullet-shattered vertebrae from Assassin John Wilkes Booth and President James A. Garfield. But pathology, the study of disease processes, has far outgrown the two rear rooms above the Riggs Bank that first housed the Army Medical Museum. The institute, which is a combined effort of all three armed forces, now serves a score of civilian Government agencies; it works closely with independent medical groups and individual doctors around the world...
