...force now consists of 62 twin-engine Mirage IV bombers and a growing stockpile of conventional atom bombs of up to 150 kilotons each. The Mach 2.2 Mirage carries a single bomb, and from such bases as Istres in Southern France can be over Russian cities in a half-hour. France has also success fully tested a medium-range missile called sol-sol-balistique stratégique, and plans to have 50 of them by 1970. In Haute-Provence, workers are building underground silos from which the missiles will be launched. This year France launched Le Redoubtable, the first...
...Negro masses, no concern for them. When I hear Stokely Carmichael, he's always asking, 'Give me the can opener, so I'll open the cans of power and eat them.' You waste your energies on demonstrations, on riots. They do not produce one atom of pride. You know the chemistry of pride, Mr. Sevareid? Pride. This is what the Negro needs, see. Viet Nam is going to do to the Negro what Israel has done for the Jews. And if I was a Negro leader, I would pitch a tent on the water edge...
...film, home computers, prisonless penology and electronic prying into the human brain. Less likely, though still possible, are the laboratory synthesis of fetuses (possibly human ones), robot athletes competing in the Olympic Games, thought control, programmed sleep and laser beams capable of boring tunnels, taking a portrait of the atom, and detecting enemy missiles within a tolerance of inches...
More than Records. The cryogenic temperature range begins at a chilly- 150° F. and plummets to -459.7° F., or absolute zero, the point at which all thermal motion of the atom ceases. To attain these temperatures, scientists use expansion engines that compress gases, cool them and allow them to expand again, then repeat the cycle until they liquefy and eventually solidify. As the gases approach absolute zero, a sophisticated magnetization process extracts their remaining reservoir of heat. Because there will always be slight thermal motion of the atomic particles, scientists will never actually achieve absolute zero. But last...
Closet-Size Shoe Box. Because the large currents that flow in superconductors generate the intense magnetic fields needed in atom smashers and in controlled fusion experiments, superconductors will eventually replace bulky elecromagnets in these areas. A 1-lb. superconducting magnet cooled by a 200-lb. refrigerating system and powered by a 6-volt battery can produce as intense a magnetic field as an iron-core electromagnet weighing several tons and requiring 50 kilowatts of power. Entire trains could be suspended above their roadbeds in strong magnetic fields produced by superconducting magnets, enabling them to travel more smoothly and with less...
