Scientists Arno A. Penzias and Robert W. Wilson of Bell Telephone Laboratories were determined to account for all the radio energy that finds its way into the 20-ft. horn antennas at Holmdel, N.J., that Bell built for talking to the Telstar communication satellite. At the microwave frequency the horn was tuned to, 4080 megacycles, radio waves from the stars and galaxies were all but undetectable, and tests with a ground transmitter proved that waves from the earth's surface could be disregarded. Still, signals were coming in. What was their origin...
Part of the credit for the bill's smooth passage went to the President, who persuaded Congress that he was asking only what he absolutely needed; previous Administrations often raised congressional hackles by padding foreign aid in anticipation of cutbacks. More credit went to AID Administrator David E. Bell, generally recognized as the best boss that foreign aid has had. Still more went to Congressman Thomas E. ("Doc") Morgan, 58, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and a man with the comforting way of a small-town doctor-which is what...
...knew a word of English. When he was ten, his family returned to the U.S., and Hersey attended Hotchkiss and Yale ('36). After a postgraduate year at Cambridge, he came back to be secretary to Sinclair Lewis, then war correspondent for TIME and LIFE. His third book, A Bell for Adano, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1945 and was followed by the celebrated account of the Hiroshima bombing. His newest novel is White Lotus, an allegory in which white Americans are forced to experience-in a Chinese setting-the centuries-long bondage of American Negroes...
...bell for the first round had barely sounded when Clay quickly banged a right off Listen's ear and went hippity-hopping around the ring, effortlessly slipping Sonny's ponderous punches. Clay hung his arms at his sides; Liston attached his arches to the canvas. The pursuit grew slower and slower, stopped altogether when Clay unloaded a solid right to Listen's head. Straining to reach Cassius with a left hook, Listen bent forward and swung. From somewhere in the general direction of his right hip, Clay flicked a right-hand chop that traveled no more than...
...ungainly craft rolled out by Bell Aerosystems last week looked like a collection of outsize beer barrels draped over a discarded boxcar. But inside each barrel was a three-bladed propeller, and between two of them was a stubby wing. The boxcar fuselage contained some of the most complex machinery in the history of flight. The whole contraption was billed as the X-22A. Bell's contribution to the roster of V/STOL (Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing) airplanes...
