...this crazy!" cried she. "It's just the craziest thing that ever happened to me." And things promised to get crazier yet. At week's end Mrs. Deibel was told to brace herself for a new surge of silver, touched off by the kinescope of Moore's show when it was telecast in cities which had not received the live program...
...characters. Dasa-ratha, the king, stands for fatherly devotion; Rama, his son and the hero of the tale, for strength of mind, arm and heart; Sita, his wife, for undying faithfulness. Under the guise of restoring the classic, Satirist Aubrey Menen (The Prevalence of Witches, Dead Man in the Silver Market) slyly milks a sacred cow for laughs. His freewheeling and irreverent Ramayana is a mock epic that owes less to its original author, the Hindu poet Valmiki, than it does to Voltaire's Candide and Boccaccio's Decameron...
...Motz's "millimeter-wave generator" is made up, first, of a linear accelerator that produces a pulsed beam of electrons about ? inch in diameter. The electrons, whose energy is 2,000,000 electron volts, pass into an "undulator," a silver wave guide that is held between 16 pointed steel teeth.

Her husband built it as a showplace in 1923, imported bricks from Belgium, hand-carved doors from Italy and Spain, and filled it with, a museum-like array of fine statues, paintings, tapestries, chandeliers and silver. Publisher Patterson is too busy for household affairs, lets her secretary and servants manage Falaise. Evenings, she and her husband often entertain such close friends as Broadway Producer George Abbott (who boards her ferocious bull terrier, Butcher Boy, because Harry Guggenheim will not allow him in the house), Lieut. General Jimmy...
