...Haven the Vagabond got up from his camp stool on the platform and went into the warm club car. He did not care for New Haven, somehow. He could read a magazine the rest of the way down...
Last week 245 printers on the three big daily newspapers in Portland, Seattle's sister city in the industrially restless Northwest, struck for a $9 seven-hour day, refused to arbitrate further. Instead of the classic newspaper tactics of trying to fight it out, publish a paper somehow, Portland's Oregonian, Oregon Journal and News-Telegram just closed down. While Portlanders spun their radio dials for news, police posted in the newspapers' plants twiddled their thumbs. There was no violence. The American Newspaper Guild is notably weak in Portland, so instead of supporting the striking printers, editorial...
Some weeks ago George Eric MacDonnell Jauncey got a hunch that the X-particle was originally an ordinary electron whose mass had somehow been increased. He imagined what would happen if a high-energy cosmic ray photon struck an electron in the upper atmosphere. Most of the transferred energy would simply give the electron a high-velocity kick. But some of it might be converted into matter which the electron would absorb, increasing its mass. The increase might be any amount at all, depending on the initial energy of the cosmic ray and the variable quantity of matter produced...
...looms over him, and the Vagabond looks at it and does not move. he knows he could perhaps move his head and body out of the way by a frantic effort. But he also knows he is certain to lose a stray arm or leg under that inhuman pressure. Somehow it doesn't seem worth the trouble to him. Maybe it will stop. Maybe it will go away or melt like a fog. Anyhow, why die by inches? Why this flurry of self-preservation at such a cost? No, 'tis better to die there calmly--to be run over...
...severe as the heroic bartering Donald Duck undergoes in Modern Inventions. But whereas Popeye's inevitable fight at the finale is almost inevitably cruel, grotesque and ugly, the worst beating ever handed out in a Disney film-the "pacifying" the big wolf gets in Three Little Wolves-somehow manages to be as charming, as delightfully inventive, as it is deserved...
