...years ago he first attracted the students who later became his apostles, he still is intellectual dictator to those about him. Even his critics, who do not admit the value of his psychoanalytic theory, agree that he has had a profound influence in giving a new emphasis, a new method of approach to human problems. In the darkened consulting room of his clinic, he receives a few patients, many of them distinguished doctors from all over the world who come to learn his method of attacking the unconscious by the free association method. He has never taken money from...
...coal-into-hard-coal idea is an old one, its history strewn with failures. Hundreds of schemes of low-temperature carbonization have been exhaustively investigated. Chief of these was the German KSG process, which was exploited by International Combustion Engineering Corp., now in the hands of receivers. The Prestcoke method, fruit of eight years experiment, has unique features: briquets that do not crumble; a product free from clinkers with only one-half anthracite's ash, one-quarter its moisture; a high yield of gas and tar. Gas is salable, tar less so. Former projects have suffered through inability to obtain...

These monsters live in swamp pools which the natives skim and will not talk about except to mutter, "sucuri," their name for the anaconda. In the cold, dry season, anacondas sometimes slip out of pools to bask in the sun. Hunter Siemel's plan is to get between his snake and the water, put it on the defensive. Other men will surround it on the land side. Each man will be equipped with a long pole with...
