...rolled sleeves, from the White House to Manhattan, to San Francisco, Des Moines and Pittsburgh. In San Francisco, demands for tickets to the Commonwealth Club's banquet were matching Franklin Roosevelt's historic appearance in 1932.

It is plasma, a lively, tricky, often dangerous state of matter whose distinctive characteristic is that its particles are electrically charged. Scientists call it "the fourth state of matter,'' because plasma follows its own peculiar laws, responding to electrical forces and creating them. The sun and stars are mostly plasma; so are many loose particles moving in space between them. In fact, cosmologically speaking, only in a few exceptional places does matter settle down and become electrically neutral. But since the human...
Conniving, scrounging and hustling, the White Sox started this week with a solid lead of 5½ games, after splitting a pair with the second-place Cleveland Indians, 3-2 and 5-6. Come what may, the sight of the jerrybuilt White Sox leading the league is so fascinating that the team will most likely break its 1951 attendance record of 1,328,234 by more than...
