...closed section of the Stadium. This would not upset the Faculty Committee on Athletics' order of priority in filling ticket orders. Many students would still be behind the end zone, but they could at least have the benefit of a higher vantage point. Students then would also form a compact section...
...drafters worked over five versions. The foreign ministers spent three more hours polishing it. Finally the heads of state, finding the language too stiff, gave it yet another going-over. The original drafts are covered with scrawls from Lyndon Johnson's heavy, felt-tipped black pen and more compact scratchings from his allies' ballpoints...
...when it came to forming a national compact, none of the 13 colonies felt themselves provinces within the new nation. Each state joined the union as an act of consent, not of compulsion, and each, as the tide of nationhood moved westward, came to think of itself as more self-reliant than its brothers to the East...
Another two years of development will be required, Ford estimates, to produce sodium-sulphur batteries large enough to power even the smallest compact cars. Such batteries would weigh about 300 lbs., produce about 10 kw. of power, and store 15 times as much energy as lead-acid batteries. Equipped with the new batteries, two prototype electric cars that Ford is now building in England are designed to travel 150 miles at 40 m.p.h. They will weigh 1,100 lbs. and carry two adults and two children. Because electric cars require no transmission, radiator, fuel tank, carburetor, fuel pump, exhaust pipe...
...early 1960s, Way's problem was theoretically solved by the development of compact superconducting magnets, which, when cooled close to absolute zero ( - 460° F.), can produce intense magnetic fields. Such magnets, Way calculated, would take up no more than 20% of a submarine's weight while providing a magnetic field strong enough for propulsion...
