...industry, which helped pioneer the new science of isotopes, will save about $225 million this year by using isotopes in a dozen ways. Refineries employ them to trace the flow of catalysts through craeking plants, Isotopes serve as tireless sentinels to warn of hidden leaks in pipes, as sensitive controls to separate oil from gasoline in pipelines. Oilmen merely insert a shot of an isotope after each batch is pumped in; when the radioactive cocktail reaches interchange points, the isotope automatically activates valves that shunt the crude and the gasoline in proper directions...
...addition to her job with Entraide Nationale, she jams in a tight schedule of public appearances with her father in his tireless drive to fashion a modern nation out of Morocco. Paradoxically, Aisha has old-fashioned ideas about marriage. She says: "I will marry the man His Majesty chooses for me. I have complete confidence in him. Love will come after marriage."

After a first-period fumble gave the Irish a touchdown, the Middies took command as if they were scrimmaging with a squad of plebes. Quarterback Tom Forrestal called plays with professional precision; when he needed extra yardage, Fullback Ray ("Tex") Wellborn was always ready to oblige. A tireless transfer student from Rice Institute, Wellborn ran for two touchdowns, caught a Forrestal pass for a third. Final score: 20-6. "I just happened to be following those big horses," said he. "Tom called 'em, I ran 'em, they blocked 'em." Which was a modest way of saying that...
Princeton reportedly features a hard-driving, entirely offensive forward line, tireless halfbacks, immovable fullbacks, and a goalie who is fast across the nets. Penn, which beat Harvard last Saturday 6 to 2, lost to Princeton 3 to 1. Brown beat Penn 3 to 2, and Princeton beat Brown...
