After lunch, Ike and Nielsen went back to the stream, where they alternated between fishing and shouting boasts at one another. Early in the afternoon, they were spotted by a passing busload of children, who shouted the old campaign chant: "We like Ike. We like Ike." Said Ike, at once pleased and displeased: "This is a hell of a place to hear something like that...
...Stanford scientists made their find with the most powerful "microscope" known to science. Its "eyepiece" is a 2½-ton magnet, its light source a giant accelerator that spews electrons in a thin stream. Fired at sheets of metal foil, the electrons whip through the metallic nuclei where they are shoved and twisted by faint electrical fields. In the huge eyepiece, the scattered electrons are counted, their new paths traced. All their measurements told the Hofstadter team that though the center of the nucleus is 130 trillion times denser than water, its edge thins down to cottony fluff...
...Mistura persuaded local and Italian officials to help him drill a well. Last week, after five months of digging through folds of hard rock near Anacapri, he struck fresh water at a point 171 feet below the sea surface. His theory: that he had struck an underground stream of water flowing from the Apennines near Naples. Whether it was enough to supply the island's whole need-and to make the marchese's fortune-was a question for the future. Meanwhile, said the marchese, contentedly quaffing the cool, fresh liquid, "it tastes better than champagne...

If the highway itself does their driving for them, they may fall even deeper into drivers' coma. The cars will speed along the Zworykin highway in a wide and orderly stream, passing and repassing like strands in a braided belt. The drivers will have nothing to do; they can sleep or play cards or stare at the flowing road. Then some irregularity-an electronic failure or a blown front tire-pokes a mischievous finger into the smooth system. The dreaming drivers awake...
Vice Squad (Levy and Gardner; United Artists) introduces the stream-of-consciousness technique at the precinct level. What James Joyce did in Ulysses for Leopold Bloom, this picture does for a detective captain. And though a day in the life of a flatfoot does not exactly provide many Joycean transfigurations-especially when the flatfoot is Edward G. Robinson -the film does leave the audience feeling like a thoroughly chewed cigar...
