Better in Stacks. Instant-housing projects, often financed through public housing authorities, have also appeared in such cities as Atlanta, Rochester and Detroit. Many of the modules come from mobile-home manufacturers, whose ever-increasing output (up 32% this year) now accounts for a quarter of all single-family homes built in the U.S. Mobile homes ordinarily win few architectural prizes, but lately builders have learned how to stack them in handsome configurations. At Puffton Village in Amherst, Mass., for instance, Magnolia Homes teamed up with a developer to create a striking community of 104 apartments from...
...sanity and her spouse: "Heat produced by pressure expands to fill the mind available, from which it can pass only to a cooler mind," goes the latest Parkinson principle. What all that bafflegab means, says Parkinson, is that when the lady of the house feels like blowing her stack, she ought to hie herself next door for a chat and a cup of coffee instead of waiting to explode when her husband gets home from the office...

On it sit a stack of copies of "The Daily World" and some paper cups half filled with stale coffee...
...this time the usual attrition processes have failed; most of those freshmen pre-meds are still with it. Add to them the number who normally decide, while here, to go into medicine, and you have about 225. Stack on top of that about 50 who have felt the zeitgeist, in the person of affable General Hershey, breathing down their necks, and you have 275. Since it usually takes at least two years to finish the pre-med requirements, the full impact of revoking other graduate school deferments could not be felt until this year...
