...fistfuls of lire, francs, guilders, dinars, schillings. Some 5,000,000 of them are pouring south and west in an eager tourist flight from the greyer skies and industrial soot of their prosperous native land. "It is the fresh air and sunshine that we like best," gushed buxom, blonde Use Schultz on the beach at Ostia. "It is so wonderful to feel the sun scorching until it hurts." In Italy the Germans outnumber American tourists, though they do not outspend them. They are Europe's No. 1 travelers outside their own borders...
Banks never learned to use his strength until the end of the 1954 season, his first full year in the majors, when he put aside his 35-oz. bat for one weighing 31 oz. Banks found that he could watch the pitch's path until the last split second, then pick it off with a quick bat stroke...
...research money are more successful than begging for pennies. To study radiation. Lawrence brought in his physician brother, Dr. John Lawrence, then with Yale School of Medicine, who soon proved the isotope-making cyclotron's worth in disease research. World War II gave the isotopes another use: the atom bomb, which the cyclotron helped make possible by producing purified uranium 235. This achievement by Lawrence, one of the six U.S. scientists appointed to weigh the bomb's possibility, was a green light for the Manhattan Project...
...weakest above the poles. He theorizes that it consists of protons, trapped by the earth's magnetic field, which spiral around lines of magnetic force at right angles. Thus a manned vehicle (launched near the poles) might carry a lightweight shielding ring to avoid proton concentrations, or use magnetic screening to repel them. Also possible: a satellite designed to "sweep out" a channel by absorbing protons, allowing a manned vehicle to follow safely...
Candela moved on to experiment with conoids, folded slabs and elliptical domes. In a land where steel is costly and labor cheap, he proved that he could use concrete shells to build a big church for $41,000, a warehouse for as little as 50? per sq. ft. Clients, including real-estate developers in Texas and a restaurant chain in Florida, have found them not only cheap but handsome. In his just completed lagoon restaurant (opposite), done with Architect Joaquin Alvarez Ordoñez, Candela uses undulating folds of great elegance. For his Santa Fe bandstand, done with Architect Mario...
