...card-carrying fans. On his wedding day, 2,000 girls in black veils stood in mourning outside the church. But then Paul Anka and Elvis Presley stole his action. Tony's great fame sputtered and dimmed, and he drifted away - a "teen-feel" victim. Tony refused to yield to rock 'n' roll, and the kids who buy the records forgot all about...
...minor gaffe can make the audience explode with laughter. When Neil Johnson makes the emperor Callapine look and sound like Richard Nixon (leaning forward, shoulders hunched, slurring words like "mah empahr") or when Percy Granger as a lord assigned to protect Queen Zenocrate, gives her up to Tamburlaine ("We yield unto the, happy Tamburlaine"), in a voice that sounds like a public-address system announcer's, the play breaks down completely for a moment...
...determine the exact size of the Morrow County oil reservoir. So far, the 162 wells are producing 27,000 barrels daily of a good grade of petrochemical crude, for which Ashland Oil & Refining Co. and Pure Oil Co. pay $2.92 per barrel. Experienced oilmen feel, however, that the potential yield of the Morrow County field is being rapidly reduced by the drilling of too many wells in one small area, a practice that diminishes the subterranean gas pressure needed to force out the oil. But just in case the Morrow County field should turn out to be only the first...
Kaunda's policy makes economic sense, since European and South African know-how is essential to the booming mining industry, which is expected to yield the government close to $70 million in taxes during its first year of self-rule. Since the country also has abundant land, ample water and few settlers, it has been largely spared the racial bitterness that has riven Kenya. However, in the wake of the uprising that came close to toppling his friend Julius Nyerere in neighboring Tanganyika, the usually affable Kaunda warned grimly last week: "We shall crush ruthlessly any attempt to overthrow...
Ploughshare optimism is based on studies of a long series of craters blasted by both chemical and nuclear explosives in the Nevada desert. The first, called Buster Jangle-U. (1951), used a crude atom bomb with a yield of 1.2 kilotons. It dug a circular hole 53 ft. deep and 258 ft. in diameter. The next shot, Teapot-Ess, had the same yield, but it was placed deeper and it dug a deeper and wider crater. With these and other shots, Ploughshare scientists built up a body of theory and experience in which they have great confidence. Latest and largest...
