...raft with bottled carbon dioxide for quick inflation. Carbon dioxide happens to be a bad actor as soon as it smells rubber. . . . Its rate of diffusion through rubber is about 15 times that of air. A rubber life raft inflated with carbon dioxide in mid-ocean might, for this reason, be a little embarrassing, perhaps even rather trying after a certain lapse of time...
...Washington, 92°, a woman telephoned the Weather Bureau, asked "Where will I have to go to cool off? New Hampshire?" "Sorry," replied the Weather Bureau, "it's 90 in New Hampshire.") The Act of God which produced these extraordinary phenomena was the misbehavior, for no apparent reason, of high and low pressure areas. These areas usually proceed across the U.

Although only about 300 artists are enrolled in the Chicago project, compared to about 1,200 in New York, the painting divisions in Chicago have been notable from the start for a higher average of professional competence. Apparent reason: making a living is harder in Chicago, more first-raters rate relief. Last week's 12,000 visitors, sauntering down the nine cool galleries of the Institute's east wing, found scarcely a boondoggling brush stroke...
...Reason for Producer Cohn's confidence is simple. You Can't Take It With You is directed by Frank Capra. Unlike most of Hollywood's major cinemanufacturers, Columbia controls neither a huge chain of theatres nor a long roster of famed stars...
