...more than inventiveness, or even his "special sauce" to run the operation. He therefore established Hamburger Central, the wall-less office near Chicago where Kroc and his burger consultants could set the party line for franchisers. In the center of one floor, a cone-shaped think tank, containing a circular water bed and a device which projects the user's alpha waves onto a screen, facilitates important decisions. (Employees may meet together within the womb-like room, unless they are of different sexes). Hamburger Central directives are communicated to the "professors" at nearby Hamburger University, which awards the Bachelor...
...once, circus hyperbole comes close to fact. At one end of the Gyro-Wheel's arms is a heavy counterweight; at the other is a circular wire-mesh cage 8 ft. in diameter. Bale and his wife Jeanette give the cage a mighty push. As it begins to turn, Bale hops inside, then makes like a hamster in an exercise wheel. As the cage rises, he runs up the inside to help maintain speed. When it reaches the top, Bale backpedals frantically to slow the whooshing descent, reversing again at the bottom to propel himself around the loop once...
...Charles River has not always been the Charles River. The Algonquins called it "Quinebonquin," meaning circular, which it isn't, although it turns this way and that so often it may appear that it could not be going any way but back.

She has been up since 5 a.m., on the ice at Twin Rinks since dawn. First she practiced school figures, tracing and retracing circular designs, skating backward and forward in perfect circles. Now it is nearly noon. Sweating and struggling to maintain her radiant smile, Dorothy, 19, is skating her freestyle program. As she swirls over the ice, leaping and spinning at presto pace, Twin Rinks Pro Peter Burrows shouts instructions. "Push it, give...
...seated person turns to the right to look directly behind, he invariably first shifts his upper body slightly to the left. Such a movement could have aligned the two men to account for the single-bullet wounds. Moreover, the wound in Connally's back is not neatly circular; its vertical dimension is longer. Only a bullet that has struck something else and is tumbling would leave such a mark. The shape of Connally's thigh wound indicates that this turning bullet entered his leg backward. Lattimer's test firings of the powerful bullets into human-cadaver wrists...
