...less coke and limestone in the steelmaking process, is luring new steel mills, traditionally centered in an arc around Pittsburgh, to the lower Lake Michigan area. Another lure: the rising demand for durable goods in the Midwest, where automakers, farm-machinery plants and appliance plants within a 400-mile radius of Chicago are hard-pressed to fill orders...
...surgical team led by Surgeon Jesse Meredith was waiting for Pennell when he arrived, 90 minutes after the accident. They scrubbed clean both the stump and the hand, set the severed bones (ulna and radius) with pins, and sutured the arteries back together. Then they unclamped the arteries of the arm and let blood pour out through the hand veins for four minutes to make sure the vessels were clean. That done, they clamped off the artery flow and rejoined the veins. Then, starting from the center, they worked to the outside reconnecting nerves and tendons. Finally, they sewed...
...circumstances that lured all three groups toward Atlanta were, in a way, the same that impelled Sherman.

The city's handsome new stadium seats 51,000 for baseball, 57,000 for football. And that is just...
...takes only a slight draft to start a natural vortex. The vortex then increases the wind speed, which, in turn, enlarges the whirl. In the laboratory the vortex increases the velocity of the air in propotion to the screen's radius. With a screen speed of four rotations per second, Ying has produced winds up to seven miles per hour near the whirl. While the rotating screen sucks air outwards, the rising heat of the fire pulls air toward the flame; at speeds faster than four revolutions per second, the screen's pull is greater than that of the fire...
...hands of segregationist Southern judges. Said Ervin: "This seals shut the door of every courthouse except that in the District of Columbia." He also pointed out that the rules of the D.C. district court allow witnesses to be subpoenaed only from within the District and a radius of 100 miles around it. To Ervin's general contention, Katzenbach replied that the record shows that Southern states "don't hesitate to come here to the Supreme Court" to argue their appeals in integration cases...
