...Regatta is a spectator's delight. The three-mile course runs from the B.U. Boathouse to the antenna on the WBZ tower past Soldiers Field. Navigation on the twisting course is just as important as open water speed...
...beginning of every stop along the rover's route (there were no telecasts while the car was moving because its high-gain antenna could not be kept aligned with the earth), Fendell's "shooting script" called for what was dubbed a "WAP," or wide-angle panorama. The camera slowly swept in a full circle around the horizon, enabling the scientists in Mission Control's science support room to take a series of overlapping Polaroid snapshots off their TV monitor, quickly study them for any oddity and then request Fendell to zoom in on it. Such a closeup...
...ALSEP antenna on Apollo 14 was initially aligned exactly according to settings supplied by Houston. Whether the base subsequently settled in the dirt or was pulled off position by one of the many cables attached to the station will never be known. In any event, to use that in your argument is ludicrous...
...extragalactic molecules, but without any luck. Lacking sufficiently sensitive radio telescopes, they could not detect the faint "signatures" left by such molecules in the radio waves coming from distant galaxies. To overcome that obstacle, Weliachew, now a visiting astronomer at Caltech, hooked up the school's three big antennas in California's Owens Valley-two 90-ft. dishes and a 130-ft. dish -so that any two of them could be used simultaneously. That technique gave him the resolving power of a huge single antenna with a diameter equal to the distance between the two antennas...
...Hers is far from a great natural voice, but it has the deceptive thin strength of a whip antenna. Its basic hue is a Canarsie twang that suggests Judy Holliday negotiating The Party's Over. But hue is one thing and cry another, as proved by Carole's pile-driving thrust in a number called Smackwater Jack, or her tender, searching way with the line, "Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it home again...
