...fact that Goldwater is suffering political damage from his talk about "sharing," the possibility of doing just that has been discussed by NATO-nation leaders for years.

If a new standard is adopted, a second will be as long as 9,192,631,770 cycles of vibration of a cesium atom. No more, no less. Well, perhaps...
...transmits the electricity stored up in his body to a neon tube, which then glows. At an ingenious IBM exhibit called Mathematica, designed by Charles and Ray Eames, bulbs light up to demonstrate what happens when a number is squared or cubed. After a tour through a giant animated atom, students can test their newly acquired knowledge on a teaching machine...
...Department of Defense, which ordered the satellites from Space Technology Laboratories, and the Atomic Energy Commission, which supplied their instruments, insist that they are only innocent research devices aimed at learning how to detect atom tests in space.

The satellites launched last fall have been working perfectly three months longer than their expected life; their builders think they will stay on the job for at least nine months more without giving trouble. The two that were fired aloft last week should have an even longer life...
