...atomic reactor, along with famed Physicists Edward Teller and Frederic de Hoffmann on loan from time to time to lecture in a new $1,000,000 science building. With an additional $10 million endowment in the offing (all earmarked for teachers' salaries), Northland faces an even rosier future. Says go-getting President Turbeville, who has turned down industry offers at more than double his $15,000 salary: "In ten years we'll be able to hire the best brains in the world. If they can teach, we'll pay them $25,000 yearly...
With an even rosier future in the boxing business, Johansson was understandably in high good humor after the fight. "You see, it is a right hand," he cried. "It was no fantasy." Fantasy or no, Johansson's tremendous punch against Patterson had already become as much a part of boxing lore as "the long count" that saved the championship for Gene Tunney in his 1927 fight with Jack Dempsey.

Burke's indicated that Sir Robert was heirless, and his nearest blood relative was a spinster sister, Laura Maude Dillon, 43. Debrett's took a rosier view and bold-faced the name of a younger brother, Dr. Laurence Michael Dillon, to signify that he was the heir to the baronetcy...
...detail, the Los Angeles situation was perhaps rosier than other U.S. industrial areas (Detroit, in fact, was hurting as auto plants got ready to shut down for changeovers to 1958 models). But it underscored an important element of the continuing wage-price rise: a nationwide shortage of labor, from engineers to drive-in dishwashers. Despite automation and efficient new machines, the demand for labor is greater than ever, e.g., to build the plant for expanding industry, to provide added services-haircuts, repairs, domestic help-for a rank and file with more take-home pay. At the same time the pool...
