New York commuters and Christmas shoppers riding the New Haven Railroad found on each train seat a copy of a 2,000-word article full of "The man who" statements about Lodge-who "stands head and shoulders above the field. He is not only qualified to be President, he looks like a President." Lodge-for-President headquarters were scheduled to be opened in Boston this month by a group...

They grow fastest at 125° F., which is close to the temperature inside a home hi-fi set, but they grow well enough at average room temperature (70°), which is common in enclosed parts of spacecraft. Now a spacecraft with a faltering voice or an electronic brain that has become psychotic need not be given up for lost. Allowed a few days to grow, the little tin whiskers will make...

Says New York City Buildings Commissioner Harold Birns: "The authors of the present [1937] code had no concept of the cacophony produced without limit by a disharmonic symphony of radio, television and hi-fi sets, which now thoroughly inundates our apartment houses...
