...from kerosene to coal oil. and gets about 15 miles per gallon in urban traffic. It is also 30% lighter (at 250 Ibs.), has 75% fewer moving parts, and is thus cheaper to build and maintain than the standard-size internal combustion engine. The gas turbine never needs a tune-up because it has no timing to adjust, no carburetor or complicated fuel injection. Because it is air-cooled, it also has no radiator...
...Salvation Army is attracting large crowds just across the street. Demanding an explanation, Hill is informed that the Army has the right to assembly because they are performing music. The next time Joe Hill appears on a soapbox he has his own I.W.W. song in hand -set to the tune of a Salvation Army hymn. People gather around and the police are temporarily thwarted.

Perhaps it's the minever Cheever complex. The Big Red band not only plays in tune (unusual for Ivy halftime shows), it dances, high-steps, goose steps, pirrouettes, clicks it heels together, and throws its chest out and its stomach in while forming a waving American flag in a salute to Irving Berlin. Poor Cornell bandies. Big Ten rejects. They are the Bob Blackman...
