Because U.S. Borax's expansion will not hit its full stride before the company's fiscal year ends in September, President Gerstley foresees earnings for this year "about the same" as last year's $1.47 a share-a healthy 13.5% on its net sales. But he expects to step them up in the future, has set up a $1,000,000 research center to discover more uses for boron. To make sure that he can provide the borax, he planned the present expansion so that production can easily be stepped up another 25% to 50% for only...
...facetious reference to Pearl Harbor. It was all so embarrassing that the Royal Australian Navy felt obliged to announce that, of course, the United States Navy had known about the gag and simply played along. The men of the Bennington knew better, but decided to take their humiliation in stride. They collected $1,800 for the boys' charity and handed it over to Sydney's Lord Mayor Harry Jensen.

Apparently immune to the emotional strain of the surgeon's task, Charles Bailey (married to a former nurse, and father of three) drives himself with awesome energy. He sometimes schedules as many as four open-heart operations in a week, takes two a week in his stride. Last week he and his colleagues (including two other surgeons) in the Bailey Thoracic Clinic performed no fewer than 15 heart operations, one with the heart-lung machine and one to close a septal defect. Within Charles Bailey's lifetime, surgery has changed from a relatively blunt and blind art, executed...
