...York Rangers' Rod Gilbert, for example, explains that from his right-wing position "with a straight stick and a fast play the shot will slide off my stick like a golfer's slice. But with the curved stick I can hold the puck a second longer, have better control when I fake the goalie, and then whip it into the corner with the left-hand spin and know it won't trail off." Other players say that the sickle stick helps them to scoop the puck off the boards and, by cradling it inside the curve, shield...
...years ago, the true "stone soul" dish is chitterlings, pronounced "chitlins." These are the small intestines of a pig, boiled, marinated, then smothered with "Louisiana hot sauce," served with turnip or collard greens, black-eyed peas and hot corn bread. The meal is traditionally topped off with a slice of sweet-potato pie, a delicacy regarded as soulful even by Southern aristocrats...
Perhaps Sligar and Son wouldn't seem so bad, if it didn't try to pass itself off as a slice of ghetto life, circa 1967. But this is what it does, from the language to Debbie Waroff's fine naturalistic set. Not for a moment does the playwright convince us that he knows what he is talking about. (Hardly does the play begin when he shows us a hippie reading that revolutionary tract Black Like Me.) The playwright who wanted so much to give his work the sound of Stokely Carmichael gave us the sound of a foul-mouthed...
...mathematical molecules began to interact, the computer sketched them in bright, sharp lines on a television screen. For the first time, scientists were able to examine a cross-section view of the orbits of electrons during a chemical reaction. By ordering the computer to slice through the ammonium chloride molecule at different angles, Clementi developed other cross sections; he was also able to determine exactly how the atoms in the molecule were joined...
Looking back, Townsend says: "Chrysler had it all. It had the plants, the engineering, the money, the dealers, everything. But it all had to be put together." Chrysler's constantly improving slice of the U.S. auto market shows how well Townsend has put it together. The company's share of the market went up from 10.3% in 1962 to 18.4% during the first seven months of 1968. Profits soared from a meager $11 million on $2.1 billion sales in 1961 to last year's $200 million on $6.2 billion sales. That trend continued during the first half...
