Votes got pretty thin around 50, let alone for number 300, so R-KO experts Arnie Ginsberg, (yes, the Wood lives!), J. J. Jeffreys, and Mel Phillips beefed up the list. But the final tabulation (printed on a fold-out sheet and sent to all voters and contest entrants) remains distressingly modern and far from definitive...
Armed with a fact sheet supplied by the State Department, Dirksen rose last week before 33 colleagues-an exceptional turnout-to begin Capitol Hill's most heated Viet Nam debate in months. He began, as he almost always does, in a barely audible rumble, praising the 30 nations that are helping in Viet Nam, reminding his fellow Senators that their dissent gives American G.I.s the feeling that they are "forgotten men."

First they cut the shapes out of sheet steel with mechanical shears, tack-welded it (a process similar to basting in sewing), then arc-welded it, checking and squaring the piece along the way for accuracy.

In fact, they did such a good job that the next time Tony wanted a box, a six-foot cube that he named...
...equipment. Early in 1961, Stone's old boss at Monogram offered to sell him and Karp a controlling interest in the company, which, as Stone had fore seen, was going bankrupt. In addition to sanitation equipment, Monogram was manufacturing temporary production holding devices used to attach unbolted metal sheets to the frames of jets, along with precision sheet metal and containers. A quick and drastic surgical job was essential if the company was to be saved. The container division was eliminated. Managers' salaries were cut by 25%, and a bonus based on profit was substituted...
