...erudite science of solid-state physics can predict from theory how strong a metallic crystal should be if all its atoms were arranged in a perfect, regular pattern. The figure is usually so high that the real metal seems like mush by comparison. Crystals formed in ordinary ways, e.g., by cooling from a liquid, are full of imperfections and irregularities that reduce their strength. Crystals of pure iron, for instance, should, in theory, be a hundred times stronger than they actually...
...hemisphere. The procedure into pour water into the bottom of the rotating parabaloid while centrifical force spreads it into an even sheet that covers the whole surface, forming the oceans. Dye is then poured into the water to make any water motion visible. As the dye spreads, a remarkable pattern begins to form. Soon a complex of currents spread over the surface of the bowl; in some places there are tangled knots of dye, while in others, such as up the Atlantic Coast, the broad smooth flow of the Gulf Stream appears. This unusual instrument has apparently succeeded in duplicating...
Since January 18, Dunster House rooms have been entered ten times. Losses from these burglaries have been estimated at over $200. Each of these thefts and the one in Thayer, March 4, followed the same pattern Toohey said. The thief always struck in the early morning, and only in rooms where the doors had been left open...
...laid out chapter and verse in the case of Major Irving Peress. The chronology clearly showed that 1) the Army "discovered" Peress and started him on the way out long before Joe McCarthy roared into the picture. 2) the seemingly strange aspects of the case followed a familiar, tangled pattern of Army red tape...
Despite these weaknesses, a full-scale depression along 1929 lines appears highly unlikely, Harris continued. With government expenditures still at near-record high, a better pattern of consumption and spending spread throughout the economy, strong farm supports, and a more enlightened attitude toward economic problems on the part of the federal government, the American economy seems fundamentally sound, he explained...
