...explanation, in diagrams and prose, of the scientific reasoning that led to the gigantic experiment. Science Editor Jonathan Norton Leonard describes the intricate mechanics of what happened as a shell of electrons enveloped the earth, explores what is known and not yet told of the scientific implications, and provides an intimate look at the remarkable self-taught physicist who conceived Project Argus. See SCIENCE, Veil Around the World and Up from the Elevator...
...producing a small car, G.M. will have ready for introduction in the fall a compact, six-cylinder auto with a part-aluminum engine in the rear. Last week the trade magazine Motor Life reported that G.M. is also considering manufacturing several models (e.g., Pontiac, Buick) using one basic body shell, will sell them through its separate dealers...
Natural Synthetic Rubber. U.S. Rubber Co. and Shell Chemical Corp. jointly began commercial production of polyisoprene, a man-made rubber duplicating tree-grown rubber. Intended for duty in large-size tires where ordinary synthetic rubber breaks down, the new rubber also will be used in white sidewall tires, crepe-rubber shoe soles and surgical gloves...
...schools with a union contract, pays the top wages for kitchen workers, along with Yale. A new contract last year played an important part in the board hike. But, at the same time, Harvard provides less expensive meals than Yale, especially when the policy of seconds is considered. Yalies shell out about $520 for eighteen meals--which, according to Tucker, comes to over $602 for a full 21-meal schedule, and the unfortunate Elis cannot have seconds on meat. Students at Princeton pay $560 yearly for a 21-meal week, but these meals are catered by Howard Johnson's, which...

A hen often forgets to turn her eggs (causing the membrane lining to adhere to the shell and killing the fetus), or in hot dry weather leaves the nest and lets them dry out. Durr's mechanical mother turns each egg every hour, and when a thermometer warns that the relative humidity is too low. shoots in a fine spray of water. Durr staggers the eggs...
