...Pole was history, it was also routine as the measuring of never-known-before statistics went on without letup. The water temperature at the North Pole, Nautilus found, was 32°F. The sea depth there was 13,410 ft., exactly 1,927 ft. deeper than previously estimated. An electrician's mate first class was sworn in for re-enlistment-the first man, the Navy pointed out, who had ever re-enlisted at the North Pole.

...With his electrician son Luben, 19, he fixed up iron shields to fit in front of the radiator and on the sides of the motor, and then filled the space with concrete to stop border guards' bullets. Luben thought of another idea. Out of old pipes and bits of glass he built a crude periscope, so that during the last dash Traiko Ivanov could steer from the comparative safety of the floor, where the whole family would...
...visitors to the museum's rooftop restaurant or down the fire stairs. The fire's human toll: 30 firemen and visitors injured, one workman dead. Mute evidence of how bad the result might have been were the smudged, clawing finger marks left on a wall by Electrician Ruben Geller, 55, before he collapsed and died face down in 6 inches of water on the second floor...
