...Orlando Lawrence, 56, University of California's Radiation Laboratory director, invented the atom-smashing cyclotron-which has been called "as useful in research as the microscope." Born in Canton, S.D., where his father was a superintendent of schools, Lawrence worked his way through local Midwestern colleges selling aluminum ware from door to door, and successfully so, despite the fact that the cakes he baked, as part of his presentation, usually caved flat as a platter.

...simulated hell broke loose in the North Atlantic. Out to punish the "aggressors," a six-nation Blue fleet totaling nearly 160 fighting ships began steaming toward Norway. In the Iceland-Faeroes gap, 36 Orange submarines, including the atom-powered 'Nautilus, lay in wait. The U.S. destroyer Charles R. Ware was "sunk"; a "torpedo" slowed down the carrier U.S.S.

...bounded back in 1955 to $455,261. Last year, paralleling the start of the boycott and the slump in housing starts, the figure settled to $336,856. Kohler's competitors said last week that the company is holding fast to its traditional No. 2 spot in the plumbing-ware industry, just behind the American Radiator & Standard Sanitary Corp. Admitted one competitor: "Kohler is in on all the jobs. We do not see it losing from the boycott...
