Under the Saw. New Jersey's Palisades Park has installed an outsized, 100-ft.-high Ferris wheel which jazzes up the ride with horizontally revolving seats. Nearby is The Monster-an "octopus" crossed with Lord-knows-what by some madman, and just the ticket to produce four-way stomach upset. Six Flags, near Dallas, has the Aserradero (Spanish for sawmill), with a water flume ride that puts four passengers into a hollow log, runs them under a circular saw, shoots them along a rapids, finally abandons them to the simple trauma of a steep downhill sluicing...
...tiring fast. He throws. Ball one. Another pitch, another ball - and another. The murmur starts in the box seats behind the Boston dugout. Swiftly it spreads through the grandstand and bleachers, picking up cadence, cresting in volume, until all Fenway Park is chanting in unison: "We want The Monster! We want The Monster! We want The Monster!" Manager Johnny Pesky obediently trots out and lifts one hand high above his head, the signal that means: "Send in the Big Guy."

When gallant Charles de Gaulle returned to slay this monster and (with some small American help) deliver France from thralldom, his countrymen threw Laval into a traitor's grave, hoping that five years of national guilt and failure might be buried with...
...they split up their share of the Government bankroll, scientists may differ about the value of space flight, but rare is the objection to the big bills that will be run up by the construction of new particle accelerators. These monster machines promise to pay for their keep by telling how energy clumps together to form the material particles that make up the universe, by contributing more than existing accelerators can to man's knowledge of nuclear energy...
...printer was developed by Radiation Inc., a small, space-oriented electronics manufacturer that sprang up 13 years ago near Cape Canaveral and has been experimenting with electrosensitive printing for several years. Its printer uses electronic impulses, not type, to form the characters. An 18-ft.-long monster, it looks like a cross between a filing cabinet and a press, eats up a continuous sheet of electrosensitive paper at a speed of 483 ft. per minute. The paper is drawn under a stationary set of 600 tiny needles-or styli-that are arranged in a 10-in. row. The computer standing...
