Preliminary plans for the Green Bank telescope were drawn up nearly three years ago. The new $2,000,000 telescope will have a 140-ft. paraboloid antenna (second in size only to the 250-ft. antenna being constructed in England) which should allow it to pick up spatial wave lengths never before recorded. Specifically, the astronomers hope that they will be able to "see through" the great drifting clouds of hydrogen, which have previously occupied their attention, to more interesting clouds of the deuterium atom (heavy hydrogen...
...densely traveled routes, the radars will also pick up small aircraft flying at altitudes lower than 15,000 feet. Designed and built by the Raytheon Manufacturing Co., the new installations will each use a mammoth 40-ft. antenna and will be able to feed up to 15 monitor screens simultaneously. Among their other refinements: an appreciable decrease in the "clutter" which plagues much radar during rainy weather; a filtering system which cuts out reflections from fixed objects, thus registering only moving objects; electronically generated maps, which can be superimposed on the radarscope for immediate identification of the territory over which...
Boris Chaliapin has again demonstrated his artistic ability in the Talmadge cover, even in the shack in the background. An}' Southern country boy will easily recognize that the pole arising behind the house is for gourd martins. Enlightened Yankees, how ever, will call it a TV antenna, and will assume that the artist intended to imply that the typical Georgian lives in a shack, plants cotton, surrounds himself with barbed wire, votes for Talmadge, and buys a TV set before house paint...
...That pole behind the shack was not strictly for the birds, but even a TV antenna, if hung with gourds, might make a nestwork for the South's Progne subis, also known as the purple martin...
...final, for the controlled subjects would never be permitted to think as individuals. A few months after birth, a surgeon would equip each child with a socket mounted under the scalp and electrodes reaching selected areas of brain tissue. A year or two later, a miniature radio receiver and antenna would be plugged into the socket. From that time on, the child's sensory perceptions and muscular activity could be either modified or completely controlled by bioelectric signals radiated from state-controlled transmitters. The regular treatment for schizophrenia uses the same surgical techniques . . . The electrodes cause no discomfort...
