...Author. Unlike his chief rival. Ernest Hemingway, short, wiry, triangular-faced William Faulkner came late to popularity: not until The Sound and the Fury (his fifth book) was he on his way to become a literary household word. After two years at the University of Mississippi he enlisted in the Canadian Flying Corps, at the Armistice was a lieutenant. A dyed-in-the-wool Southerner but no unreconstructed rebel, Faulkner lives with a wife and two stepchildren on his own cotton plantation in Oxford, Miss, whence he makes rare, grudging expeditions to literary Manhattan. He still flies occasionally...
...Dartmouth and New Hampshire in a full course run. On the same day the second team will run unofficially in the Harvard Inter-Collegiates.

The circular core, hung on a duraluminum mast planted on, not in, the ground, is lashed together by guy-wires on a system of triangular tensions, like an airplane. A square house piles up air pressure on the windward side, creates a vacuum on the leeward side, thus sucking the heat out. The streamlined house slides the wind off, fills the leeward vacuum space, saves heat, requires less resistance to wind stress. A cone on the housetop...
