Rowing about 100 yards away, John P. Hamilton '63 saw Bachrach in the water but arrived too late to aid. Hamilton immediately dived several times in unsuccessful attempts at rescue. According to Hamilton, the accident occurred within 20 yards of the shore...
...Even when it was running full blast, they held their own. Since they normally divide every 20 minutes or so, this meant that radiation was killing only about as many as managed to live and divide. Just how much radiation the Pseudomonas got is hard to estimate, because the water circulates at varying distances from the core of the reactor, but Dr. Fowler thinks they may have absorbed more than 10 million rep (roentgen equivalent physical) in an eight-hour day, which is 10,000 times the dose that is fatal...
Many other microorganisms must have got into Omega West's deadly water; only the Pseudomonas survived. Perhaps the Pseudomonas have natural resistance to radiation. More likely, under the bombardment of Omega's radiation, normal Pseudomonas underwent mutation, producing a special strain capable of surviving in this atomic blast...
...Chevy's regular 170-h.p. to 230-h.p. cast-iron V8. Being air-cooled, it eliminates the water pump and radiator, does away with overheating and freezing, needs no antifreeze. Because the engine is aft, and combines there with the transmission and drive gears, there is no transmission hump in the floor. Because the front is light, Chevy says the car is easy to steer without power steering, gets better traction and braking...
...miles a year. He has won their respect and hearty backing by listening to their problems, trying to correct one of their big complaints-poor assembly-line workmanship. He likes to inspect the Chevies in showrooms and on the lots, peers under hoods, checks the chrome, looks hard for water leaks. On occasion, he has flown in a team of engineers from Detroit to replace all faulty parts. Time and again, dealers give him their highest possible accolade; they bubble that "when Ed Cole talks to you, he makes you feel like you're talking to another dealer." Such...
