...Midway in the third quarter, center half Stacey Holmes scored his second goal of the season as he faked out Goldthwaite on a solo rush...
...Midway through the fourth quarter, after the Big Red missed a touchdown when Dick Jackson caught a long De Grasf pass just outside the end zone, Harvard took over on its own 13. On the first play, Cowles, who played a magnificent two-way game today, cut through for five yards on a play that was virtually unstoppable today, the inside, reverse over left guard. Then, Botsford, whose sense of timing permitted him to use his interference to perfection, faked off two tacklers and cut though right tackle for a first down on the '34. He squirmed...
Overall military expenditure is now running $3.4 billion less than in 1952 (the last full year of the Truman regime, midway in the Korean war). But newsmen asked why nonmilitary spending is $505 million higher than in 1952. Humphrey explained this as "uncontrollable costs"-that is, costs that legislation forces up or prevents from being pared. And most of the increase came from three more or less sacrosanct categories: agriculture price supports, housing and veterans...
Unnatural Laws. The things that science deals with, said Gold, range in size from electrons (radius 10 -13 cm) to the universe itself (radius 10 27 cm). Man, the earth and the solar system lie midway between the two extremes, and the laws that govern them have become so familiar that any deviation seems wrong. But gravitation, one ruling common-sense force, is ignored by subatomic particles, which are attracted to one another by enormously strong forces effective only at very short distances. To explain events in the "microphysical" world, scientists need the "unnatural" rules of quantum theory...
...heroism of Jewish soldiers who parachuted behind German lines during World War II, were captured, and died in concentration camps. Prime Minister Moshe Sharett was the principal speaker, and among the honored guests were several other paratroop veterans who had fought in one uniform or another against Hitler. Midway in the ceremony, two tiny, corn-yellow Piper Cubs circled low over the crowd. As one passed over Sharett's head, flying only 100 yards above the ground, the pilot dropped a parachute bearing a memorial message from President...
