...Lions demolished Temple 66-14 to stretch their winning streak to 19 games, the longest in the nation. That also gave Paterno his 271st victory as a head coach, which is fourth on the all-time major college list, behind Bear Bryant (323), Pop Warner (319) and Amos Alonzo Stagg (314). The only coach ever to win the Rose, Sugar, Orange and Cotton bowls, Paterno has had five unbeaten, untied seasons and two undisputed national championships. He might have had a third last year, but the college football polls gave the mythical national championship to Nebraska, which made everyone...

War smashed his dream, but he went...

Both systems employed graphite to moderate the nuclear reaction. Most U.S. units regulate with water instead. About half of all Soviet reactors employ graphite rather than water...
Just the previous day, Stagg had warned that a gale would strike on June 5, and Eisenhower had reluctantly ordered a 24-hour postponement of Dday. The first troopships, already at sea, had to be called back. But now that the storm was actually upon them, Stagg offered what he called "a gleam of hope for you, sir." The next day, June 6, there would be some clearing of the skies, a break of perhaps 36 hours, no more. The cloud ceiling over the Normandy beaches would be about 3,000 feet, the waves only about three feet high...
