Tenacious ball-hawking and sharp passing by center half Bill Kerstetter, and aggressive tackling and long clears by sophomore fullback Karl Lunkenheimer successfully thwarted Brown's fast-break offense, though both Bruin wings were constantly left uncovered, and they occasionally threatened to slip through for open shots...
...Peking, moreover, has launched a missile program guided by Chien Hsueh-shen, 52, a 1938 Caltech Ph.D. grad and jet-propulsion specialist. Chien was chief of the rocket section of the U.S. Scientific Commission on National Defense during World War II. In 1950 he was caught trying to slip out of California, bound for Red China. He was finally permitted to leave the U.S. in 1955, surfaced immediately in Peking. The status of his missile program is obscure, but it is known that a missile range has been laid out near the Sinkiang nuclear testing ground. Some observers believe that...
Then luck took a hand-with a nudge from Surtees' teammate, Lorenzo Bandini. Running fourth, unable to pass Hill on the straightaways, the Italian picked the worst turn on the course, a tight hairpin, as a likely spot to make his move. Four times he tried to slip past; four times he failed-coming so close to Hill's B.R.M. that the Briton shook his fist in anger. On the 31st lap he tried again-and this time he slammed into the B.R.M., bounced it clear off the track into a fence. Tail pipes bent, title hopes shattered...
...Government declined to prosecute on the ground that the Negroes were guilty only of an insignificant slip of memory. But Cox persisted, and last fall the Negroes were indicted by a state grand jury. The Government countered by arguing that states cannot prosecute alleged federal perjurers. Cox tried a new tack when a federal grand jury began looking into civil rights violations throughout Mississippi. Somehow that jury was persuaded to see things Cox's way. It indicted the Negroes, and then Cox ordered U.S. Attorney Robert E. Hauberg to prepare and sign the indictment...
Profitable Leaps. This bewilderingly diversified and remarkably creative company has become a darling of Wall Street by poking inquisitively into a bunch of unlikely products that stick, slip or scratch. Founded in 1902 to mine corundum for use in abrasive wheels, 3M struggled into the manufacture of sandpaper and then into masking tape. Its big breakthrough was the familiar Scotch Tape, which 3M invented originally as industrial masking tape. Scotch Tape still accounts for 17% of the company's sales, has led to 400 other varieties of tape, the latest of which, introduced to the public in September...
