Just Pals. But as Mack continued, his statement turned pitifully flabby. He and Whiteside, he said, had "known one another since I was eight years old. We went to school and to college [University of Florida] together. Our wives went to college together ... I must confess that throughout my career I have not been what may be called a moneymaker. There have been many times in my life when I have been in need of financial assistance." And whenever he needed such assistance, why there was good old Thurman Whiteside, ready with a check from...
...heaps of ore have arisen around western mines; in Wyoming's rich Gas Hills area. Vitro Uranium Co. now has 40,000 tons on hand. Vitro shut down its drilling rigs, laid off half its mining force, planned to discharge the other half this month-unless something happened. Throughout New Mexico's Grants-Ambrosia Lake region, only twelve rigs were drilling last week v. more than 40 before AEC's freeze. The New Mexico State Land Office last month could lease only six of the 30 tracts it auctioned, and high bids reached the princely...

But, says Struve, "it is perfectly conceivable that some intelligent race meddled once too often with nuclear laws and blew themselves to bits." When astronomers on the earth are able to observe such explosions with sufficient accuracy, they'may be able to determine which ones were natural and which were caused by beings that grew too intelligent for their...
...More of Less." Famed for his insistence on precision in both design and execution, Mies insisted that the 4-ft. 7½-in. module for the building be rigorously carried throughout, allowed only a one-sixteenth-inch leeway even in the interior offices, hallways and shower rooms. Draftsmen on the job rapidly discovered that Mies's doctrine of "less is more" applies to work as well as design, spent weeks redesigning door handles, mail chutes and even fire alarms to put them in harmony with the building. To heighten the impact of Mies's austere geometry, the building...
