...simplest way to get information about Malaya's Communist guerrillas, decided High Commissioner Sir Gerald Templer, was to pay for it. His idea paid off. Among the top Communists killed through informers: Manap ("The Jap") Jepun, commander of a Communist guerrilla regiment, and Cheung Kit ("The Ape") Ming, Malacca state committeeman of the Communist Party. Rewards of about $25,000 were paid in each case. Last July, a good month for informers, the Malayan government paid out $75,000 in rewards, based on a rate of $825 for a common, or jungle variety Communist. By year...
...galleries, as usual, Wayne Morse, the Oregon maverick, strolled into the chamber lugging an iron folding chair, prepared to "sit in the middle of the aisle." The Republicans shooed him over to his old seat in the front row on their side, just because that was the simplest thing to do.

One veteran mountaineer described the feeling last week: "When you get that high, you just don't care. It's almost beyond human endurance...
Purcell and his association here are currently using the new technology to study the properties of hydrogen in the solid state, achieved by cooling the gas down to temperature near absolute sera under pressure. Hydrogen is being used because the hydrogen atom is the simplest of all the elements
...more body room, Plymouth moved the engine two inches forward and shifted the steering-wheel housing. Trunk space was increased 30%, glass area 16%, and horsepower pushed up to 100 v. 97 in the old models. One of the simplest changes-yet one of the best-was made in the two-door models. In them, the front seat is divided not in the center, but at a point one-third from the right door. The new seat permits rear-seat passengers to get in & out without squashing their front-seat companions up against the dashboard in front...
