Operating with him on the Canadiens first line are Dickie Moore, third highest scorer in the league, and Maurice's own younger brother and heir apparent, Henri ("Pocket Rocket") Richard, only 22 but already a solid all-round center who has made 29 points this year. Together they form the best line in hockey (40 goals, 55 assists to date)-with the ironic result that the league's leading scorer (40 points), Bernie ("Boom Boom") Geoffrion, is relegated to the second line...
...Balky Army. Even after his solid win, there were nagging doubts whether Betancourt would be allowed to get on with the job. Mobs of Caracas' solidly pro-Larrazábal citizens followed shouting young slum toughs and Communist agitators into the streets. For two days they ran wild, ignoring Larrazábal's sportsmanlike concession of defeat-big news itself in a continent accustomed to ending vote counts with cries of fraud.

Wildcatters were putting down wells over an area of hundreds of square miles north and south of the strike, seeking to establish the field's boundaries. In one solid gesture of confidence in the future, the Ashland Oil & Refining Co., purchaser of the bulk of the field's output, already has invested $200,000 in gathering lines, last week took bids on a $2,000,000 pipeline to pump oil directly to its refinery in Louisville, 70 miles away...

N.C.R.'s restless research has brought some exciting new inventions, such as a carbonless carbon paper (chemically coated sheets that reproduce type on impact). While working on this, N.C.R. discovered a method of enclosing liquid in microscopic gelatin capsules, thus making a liquid look and act like a solid. So treated, castor oil becomes tasteless-because it is covered with gelatin. More than 1,000 companies are investigating the process to see if it can be used for their own products, and the Pentagon has contracted with National to "encapsulate" liquid rocket fuel so that it will pack...
