...Purple backs line up Maloy under the center, but with left halfback Massucco directly behind him. This shifts Doyle and Turco over to the left, and allows Maloy more of a choice in handoffs. The Leshaped formation also means that many diagonal sweeps can transform themselves, with little change in blocking assignments, into sudden slants over and off the tackles. The speed of the backs increases the effectiveness of this...
Until a trade agreement was signed last week, trade between India and Pakistan had come to a near-standstill. All of East Pakistan's exports & imports, shut out from India, had to go through Chittagong, an overgrown fishing village with a commercial façade. Determined to transform Chittagong into a major port, the government hired Hans Hansen, a Finnish-born American citizen, who was a stevedore before the war. Hansen has cut unloading time in half, increased wharfage space threefold, and imported barges from the Philippines for offshore loading. His job is a shining, rare example of Point...

...conditioning cities, freshening seawater for irrigating deserts, blasting away mountain ranges. But atomic technology is still too new to furnish any guides for guessing. When the first crude Newcomen steam engines began pumping out British coal mines in 1711, no one could have imagined how they would transform society. One way to help in the projection of the atomic age is to compare present-day life with that of driven Egyptian slaves or verminous medieval peasants. Descendants of present-day man, on the high plateau of level four, may be just as far from life...
