Under the Ford inter-university distinguished visiting scholar program, these men will be free to conduct their studies without any teaching or special research requirements.

Many of the Haitians were even poorer than their South Carolina counterparts, but if they literally did not know where their next meal was coming from, they refused to worry about it.

Pyroceram is the invention of Dr. S. Donald Stookey, head of Coming's fundamental research department, was designed originally to provide a missile covering that would withstand extreme heat resulting from air resistance. Other uses under way or planned: ball bearings, piston heads, curtain walls for skyscrapers, bulkheads for nuclear ships. Most convincing demonstration to housewives of Pyroceram's properties: heating pots of it red-hot with an acetylene torch, then plunging them into ice water.
