...George Smathers, chairman of the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee. But the shift of issues was plainly forcing the Democrats toward a change in campaign strategy. With most of the steam gone from some of their liveliest stumping topics, they began heading back to the course steered all along by Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson: booming the "responsible" Democratic Party, which has proved that it can work constructively with a Republican President. That was the same strategy that returned Democratic majorities to Congress both...
Northeast Airlines Flight 258 left New York's La Guardia Airport at 10:30 p.m., its 31 passengers chafing at the two-hour delay already caused by lowering weather. Along with the usual vacationers were passengers who had locked up their office desks for the weekend, eaten hasty meals, packed their bags and hurried to make Flight 258 at its scheduled time. They had little time for delay; they were weekend aerial commuters, a modern phenomenon, traveling regularly from their workweek jobs in New York to their New England summer homes. Flight 258 wheeled northeasterly from La Guardia, headed...
...work properly, the accelerometer cylinders must lie at right angles to the earth's radius lines; i.e., their weights must move along tangents to the earth's circumference. Otherwise, gravity, as well as lateral movement, would affect the weights. To hold the accelerometers steady, they are hinged to platforms, stabilized by gyroscopes, which keep an unchanging relationship to the earth (the platform of the north-south instrument, for instance, is always at the same angle to the polar axis). But the accelerometers do not remain immovable. Holding their tangential position, they must slowly tip on their platforms...
...modern Antarctic pioneers at the South Pole, Rear Admiral George Dufek last week urged Washington to send atomic-powered heat and light. If that seemed pretty cushy for explorers, it made practical scientific sense. The polar fuel bill is huge, and along the Arctic's 3,000-mile DEW line as well, U.S. radar stations could well use small reactors instead of flying...
Commissioner Jacobs met with President Dan M. Potter and other members of the Protestant Council but said only that he would pass their objections to his policy along to the Board of Hospitals. Last week the pro-contraception forces prepared for a long and drawn-out battle; the American Jewish Congress and the American Civil Liberties Union called a meeting to set up a citizens' committee and consider preparing a case for testing in the courts. Their position was best summed up by an editorial in the New York Times: "Freedom of religion works both ways; and in this...
