Cool Sun. When they set up their cameras in a Douglas DC-8 jetliner and flew high over Canada during last summer's eclipse, Drs. Guglielmo Righini of Italy and Armin J. Deutsch of the U.S. counted on snapping some of the clearest pictures yet of the sun's glowing corona. But up there above the dust, water vapor and other difficulties of the earth's atmosphere, the two astronomers told the Florence meeting of COSPAR (Committee on Space Research), they found far more than they expected. Their pictures of the sun's spectrum showed...
...Olympic year (he has been drafted by both the Denver Broncos and the Dallas Cowboys). Even in track skivvies, Hayes still runs as though he had a football tucked under his arm-head bobbing, shoulders rolling, elbows flailing. Unlike such "rabbits" as Germany's Olympic Champion Armin Hary, Hayes has never learned to get the jump on his field by anticipating the starter's gun. He frequently is the last man off the blocks, or close...
Together, Johnson and Winter carefully studied movies of Germany's gabby Olympic Champion Armin Hary. They decided that Hary won his races at the start. "I knew my own start was terrible," says Johnson. He tried moving his starting blocks back farther than normal, rising more leisurely into the "set"' position, taking a quicker first stride to get the jump on the rest of the field. Purpose of the "slow rising" technique, says Winter, is to keep Johnson completely relaxed until the moment the starter's gun fires. "Our research shows that reaction time is improved...
...step on a man in the 100 meters," says U.S. Sprinter Ray Norton, "you can just look over your shoulder at him and let him do his best. He'll never catch you." Last week a Frankfurt sales clerk named Armin Hary, 23, got a step on the world's fastest sprinters, including Norton himself, and ran off with the 100-meters gold medal for one of the biggest upsets of the Olympics...
...dozen international stars who will need only the slightest break to beat him to the gold medals. Norton is the favorite because of his consistency under pressure and a smooth, driving stride that picks up speed as the race goes on. The long shot: West Germany's Armin Hary, 23, a Frankfurt department store clerk, who gets off the mark fast, ran the 100 meters in a world record time of 10 sec. Hary suffers from brittle nerves, and in preparation for the stress of Rome has been taking long walks in the country. In the end, Norton...
