REPUBLIC Steel Corp. will build a $1,000,000 plant in Toledo to make 50,000 lbs. a day of powdered iron by a new process. Precision parts (e.g., cams, gears) molded of powdered iron fuse under heat into hard, smooth shapes that need no expensive machining. If Republic, the first big steelmaker to enter the field, can produce big quantities of powdered iron cheaply, it will be good news to airplane and automakers, who never have been able to get enough...

He conquered the opening and closing fast movements with sparkling virtuosity, and gave the slow middle movement a beautiful, butter-smooth tone.

Geologists backed him up; the odd stones, they...

Raphael spent long hours dissecting; Curator Mayor shows how his later figures lose their smooth look and take on bone structure and strong, adult muscles. Not until 1543, when the Belgian Anatomist Andreas Vesalius published his book of superb anatomical drawings, did artists have a text...
