...what, in effect, was an electronic chemistry lab, Clementi ordered the computer to produce the mathematical specifications for one molecule of ammonia and one of hydrochloric acid. The obedient computer was then told to move the two molecules together gradually until they combined to form ammonium chloride (commonly called sal ammoniac), a chemical found in such varied products as cough medicines and battery electrolytes...
Inaccessible Reactions. While it was providing visual information, the computer was also spewing out torrents of printed data describing the energy that binds together a molecule of sal ammoniac. It also spelled out the temperatures and pressures at which the chemical can exist. To Clementi's surprise, the computer revealed that at a temperature around 1300°F-and at high pressure -sal ammoniac, which was previously believed to exist only as a solid, could also be a gas. Two University of Brussels chemists have since produced sal-ammoniac gas in their laboratory, using the computer data for guidance...
Gift of God. It all happens sooner now. Denny McLain is only 24. And not since blue-bearded Sal Maglie, who used to point his glove like a pistol at the batter's heart during his follow-through, has there been an angrier, more arrogant or more confident man on the mound. A chunky, 5-ft. 11-in. 190-pounder, McLain stands there stiff-backed, briefly fingering the resin bag before throwing it violently to the ground. Like a high-school wise guy, he tilts his cap so far down over his eyes that he has to cock his head...
...which the number one position would go to anyone but Elvis. His influence on those who followed cannot be underrated: his hip-swinging set the style for performance, and the hard-driving toughness of Hound Dog and Treat Me Nice spawned a whole generation of imitations, from Fabian, Sal Mineo, and Joey Castle to Conrad Birdie. Only the Everly Brothers can match Elvis's dual line of songs--distinct yet composed of the same ingredients--that both define the pinnacle. Don't Be Cruel, Blue Suede Shoes, and Too Much led down to Teddybear, Wear My Ring...
