Clifton '49, executive director of the Fund, says the new approach has proved very successful. Last year the Fund raised $5.45 million, exceeding both 1975's total of $4.85 million and its goal of $5.25 million. Clifton says this year's drive is "in pretty good...

Its radiation energy restored, the star zooms back toward red-giant status 100 times faster than it took to get there the first time...

The physics laboratories at Princeton where Albert Einstein once worked have been used to experiment with variants of torque and longitudinal flex. Practically every element and compound known to modern chemistry has been molded, extruded or laminated. A few tennis technologists have even tried some new tricks with wood, all in hopes of providing instant improvement for the player...
