Travel-weary but pleased. Queen Elizabeth II last week came to the end of her six-week Canadian tour, at the historic British fortress of Halifax. Prime Minister John Diefenbaker and 18 Cabinet members were on hand to see her off in a whirl of meetings, state banquets and one final piece of business: the appointment of a new Governor General to succeed scholarly Vincent Massey, 72, who retires this fall after 7½ years of service...
...husband, whom she had divorced for a poor sucker, turned out to be a rich sucker-he died and left her $150,000. Like a shot, Belle was off to Europe, and soon her madcap manners and her saucy wit had won her a place in the social whirl around the Prince of Wales, later Edward...

...Sweden he imported his parents, his brothers, his sister, his brother's fiancee and his own fiancee of five years' standing-in-waiting, Birgit Lundgren, a comely and compact brunette of 23. With Birgit on his mighty right arm, Johansson even made occasional forays into the nightclub whirl of Manhattan.

Self-appointed experts began to doubt that it had ever existed. JOHANSSON TALKS A GOOD FIGHT, sneered...
...most familiar particle accelerators are cyclotrons, synchrotrons, etc., which whirl ionized particles many times around a circular path, giving them more and more speed. But at the higher energies, the whirling particles are hard to control and give low beam intensity. Linear accelerators are relatively simple in principle, but tremendously complicated to engineer, and require much more space. Starting electrons at one end of a long, straight path, they push them toward the other end by a carefully timed series of microwave pulses, producing very high energies with the electrons concentrated in a high-intensity beam...
