...Locker space is, of course, scarce. On this particular day, the club pro, Ralph ("Rip") Arnold, escorted me to the locker room and told me to shout for Granby, the locker attendant. I walked from the sunlight into the gloom of the locker room and sang out. About the third time I shouted, a quiet, pleasant voice said: 'Hi, Darby, you having a little trouble...
...pictures should have enraged anyone. The Monet at the Currier Gallery is a placid, solid landscape, riffled by a hurrying breeze. True its chief tone is not the staid brown beloved by the academicians at the time, but it is a hardly less respectable grey. Wet grey holds white sunlight and brown, peach and lavender earth together. It is the kind of picture that inspires conservative amateurs, such as Winston Churchill, to their happy daubings...
...took Lawyer Augenti five years of briefs, depositions and oral arguments to overcome the reluctance of Italian judges to upset the verdicts of their colleagues. Last February a new trial was ordered. Carlo, now 46, grey, and suffering from tuberculosis, was brought from jail.

A panel of ten judges listened to the impassioned pleading of Lawyer Augenti, the evidence of 35 witnesses. A fortnight ago they...
Conventional crop plants, says the report, have many shortcomings. The food they produce by the action of sunlight is formed in their leaves, which are usually inedible and must be supported and supplied by many other inedible parts. Generally only the seeds and tubers can be eaten by man. Another trouble with conventional food plants: when they are young, they cover only a little ground. A field of thriving, knee-high corn may delight a farmer, but to a chemist's eye it is shockingly inefficient. It utilizes only a small fraction of the sunlight falling on the field...
...culture has its drawbacks: it cannot be grown effectively in open ponds or tanks, where it quickly runs out of carbon dioxide or falls prey to microscopic predators. The best way to handle it is to circulate it rapidly through wide, flat tubes of thin plastic. The cells utilize sunlight most efficiently when they are exposed to its full intensity for only a fraction of a second at a time. So the flow of the culture must be turbulent, bringing the cells to the surface for a short time, then carrying them down into shaded depths. The "crop," a bright...
