...talk turned to molybdenum, which is not the hardest metal known to man but has the advantage of not even beginning to melt at temperatures up to 4,700°F. Eventually the atom experts decided to put their drilling theories to a test; they constructed a 2-in. cylindrical drill bit of molybdenum, and to their surprise their very first demonstration was a success. With a 5-kw. generator, they heated the face of the bit to 2,190°F, then forced it down against a specimen of hard basalt rock. Like a hot pick thrusting through...
...warted apparition hurling fire from rooftops, skywriting ominously with a flaming broom, or saying: "Now, my beauties, something with poison in it. Heh! Heh! Heh!" Hearing that, one child remembered hopefully, if a bit inexactly, that "last year Dorothy and the Wizard poured hot water on her and she melted." The Wicked Witch will melt again this year, but not from the children's memory.

The director, Samuel Goldwyn Jr. (wonder how he got the job?) has evidently seen Jules and Jim; every time Peter Fonda and Sharon Hugueny melt into each other's arms, the air fills with a familiar kind of harps-and-strings music. It's supposed to convey the impression of joyful undergraduate love, but it only conveys the impression that the scene is taking place in the Waldorf Cafeteria...
MOZART: CLARINET QUINTET (London). Serenity and a sense of finality characterize the music Mozart wrote two years before his death. In this harmonious performance, strings and clarinet melt magically together as they trade melodies and take turns outlining the airy ornaments. Members of the Vienna Octet are the players, with Alfred Boskovsky the superb clarinetist...
