...five-a-week daytime TV show called Close-Up, they have overextended themselves, and the result is a sort of compost: a pinch of Ralph Edwards' This Is Your Life and a watered-down heap of Mike Wallace's Night Beat (which McCrary says is "a carbon copy of one of my old shows"). Last week the McCrarys snagged a performer who had turned Wallace down cold: Negro Singer Eartha Kitt. Eartha talked charmingly about such things as doing "primitive dances" with James Dean, and recalled her recent visit with Nehru. Said Tex: "Nehru is a widower...
...includes thousands of lesser energy-yielders. Petroleum hydrocarbons (gasoline, kerosene, etc.) are the commonest aviation fuels only because they are plentiful, convenient and relatively cheap. Many other chemicals yield more energy. Hydrogen has the highest heat of combustion (52,000 B.T.U.* per lb.), but carbon is rather low (14.500 B.T.U. per lb.). Hydrocarbons, which contain both carbon and hydrogen, are therefore intermediate. Kerosene burned in jet engines yields only about 18,500 B.T.U...
...fall into fragments that cannot kill any kind of germ. To use the customary chemical methods on penicillin, says Dr. Sheehan, "would be like attempting to repair a fine watch with a blacksmith's sledge and anvil." The critical problem was to find a way to bond a carbon atom and a nitrogen atom to form a chemical ring in the heart of the molecule. Avoiding many standard reagents as too violent, and keeping his solutions at room temperature or lower, Dr. Sheehan finally found a reagent that would...
...businessman or little, farmer or factory hand, can qualify for a Prudential loan or mortgage. At the top of the Pru's list of borrowers is a Who's Who of U.S. industry: International Business Machines (some $550 million since 1936), General Motors, Chrysler Corp., Union Carbide & Carbon Corp., International Harvester, Goodyear Tire & Rubber...
...bottoms, and thirteen stripes of a width-wise sort. They dig holes that trip cattle and eat grain, which aggravates farmers. They also incurred the enmity of Senator Richard L. Neuberger of Oregon, as if they didn't have enough trouble with nasty little men who pump bisulphide of carbon into their burrows. But at least these men make no pretensions about their aims, while Senator Neuberger has a sneaky, insidious scheme for annihilation...
