...pale, frail-looking Irishman in Villanova's colors gave no sign last week when he glided easily into the early laps of the National Amateur Athletic Union mile. He picked a place in the clear, just off the pace, and let Chicago's Phil Coleman tow the field along. His slow (2:05.2) half bothered him not a bit. Farther back, Rozsy began to show concern.

The biggest and oldest of these, the American Management Association, has blossomed from only twelve conferences in 1949 to 1,200 courses, seminars and conferences this year.

Gambling his own funds, and credit, De Long built a $250,000 prototype that was simple, seaworthy, and ready to operate soon after the tow-lines were cast off. Huge jacks lowered four sturdy caissons to the ocean floor, then lifted the entire platform into the air. After capping a well, the platform descends and moves on to another location...
