Resistance Fighter. Two years ago, when Reb Blau's first wife Hinda died, some of the steam went out of the old man's protests. Eventually, some of Blau's disciples decided that what he needed was female companionship. A shadchan (marriage broker) knew just the woman-Ruth Ben-David. Her original name was Madeleine Feraille. Born in Calais and Sorbonne-educated, she helped save the lives of several Jews while fighting with the French Resistance during World War II, and became interested in Judaism. Later she converted to Orthodox Judaism, divorced her merchant husband, changed...
...Clark [July 9] says that "in the early days, British motorists had to be preceded by men on foot crying their approach." Nonsense! Up to 1896, mechanically propelled vehicles had to be preceded by a man carrying a red flag, neither to exceed 4 m.p.h. I have seen steam rollers moving at 3 m.p.h. with a man walking in front with the flag (I am 83). On Nov. 14, 1896, the speed permitted was increased to 12 m.p.h. To celebrate, a run was organized from London to Brighton for a collection of motor vehicles, German, French, British and American...
...Water from Long Island Sound will be pumped into the plant, where it will be heated by an open-pool reactor. It will then pass through a series of large chambers, each with different pressure levels; the heat and the changes in pressure will cause the water to form steam and separate from the brine; the steam will then be condensed and piped out as pure, distilled drinking water...
...industry is also building hundreds of huge truck stops that cater to practically every need of the drivers. At Wildwood, Fla., Pure Oil has just opened a 23-acre, $550,000-station that includes-in addition to 28 pumps-a motel, restaurant, barber shop, clothing store and free shower-&-steam-rooms. In North Lima, Ohio, an American Oil truck stop includes feeding facilities for traveling cattle and a rabbi to supervise shipments of kosher meat, which must be watered down every 72 hours between the slaughter and its delivery...
...charge before the next flash. This happened repeatedly without any thundercloud forming in the vicinity, proving that the volcano alone was generating the electricity. Just how it did this is still uncertain. In some cases, the positive electricity was created when a high-speed jet of ash-laden volcanic steam shot up through sea water; yet clean steam, formed when lava flowed quietly into the sea, also contained a charge. To satisfy themselves about the final details of the volcanic lightning generator, the scientists will have to brave a second and still closer look...
