...been recording radiation from the sun 10 hours a day, every day of the year, except for the infrequent interruptions due to failures of the equipment. At 7 a.m. the station automatically turns itself on. A wire parabolic dish, 28 feet in diameter and mounted above the ground on steel legs, begins to follow the sun in its path through the sky. At the focus of this dish a complex antenna system receives the signals from the sun as they are reflected off the wire screen. In the nearby dust-proof laboratory building, electronic equipment analyzes the solar data...
...Liberia was searching elsewhere for iron. After Clark's discovery, President William Tubman's government gave the company exemption from taxes and a mining concession until 2023 in return for half ownership of LAMCO. A substantial junior partner in the project, along with LAMCO, is Bethlehem Steel, which invested $55 million and will take one-fourth of Nimba's 7.5 million-ton annual output.

This year, Alabama casually clobbered Georgia (32-7), Tulane...
...major shareholder. The company also has a reputation as a powerful stabilizer of the Indian stock market. A year ago, when the Red Chinese attack threw Indian exchanges into panic, it restored morale by sopping up $2,100,000 worth of just one stock, market-leading Tata Iron & Steel Co. So far, however, L.I.C. has kept its hands off the management policies of firms it buys into. It expresses its disapproval only by reducing its investment...
